What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chocolate Fish Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chocolate Fish Coffee will provide franchisees with suggested guidelines for hiring employees. Specifically, Chocolate Fish Coffee will provide suggested staffing levels, suggested guidelines for hiring employees, and operational instructions in the Brand Standards Manual that can be used as part of training new employees.
It is important to note that all hiring decisions and conditions of employment are the sole responsibility of the franchisee. This means that while Chocolate Fish Coffee offers guidance, the franchisee is ultimately in charge of who they hire and the terms of their employment.
Chocolate Fish Coffee also offers an initial training program and on-site support for one week in connection with the business opening, which includes assisting in training employees. This support can be valuable for franchisees as they begin the process of hiring and training their staff. The training program includes topics such as employee handbook, orientation materials, operations basics, and barista training.
