What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chocolate Fish Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes a total of 9.5 hours of classroom training and 29.5 hours of on-the-job training. This makes for a total of 39 hours of training. The training covers various aspects of the Chocolate Fish Coffee business, including culture, history, basic setup, operations, pricing, customer satisfaction, and barista training.
The training program is designed to equip franchisees with the knowledge and skills necessary to operate a Chocolate Fish Coffee franchise successfully. The classroom training provides a foundation in the company's values and procedures, while the on-the-job training allows franchisees to apply what they've learned in a real-world setting. The training location is Sacramento, CA, or the franchisee's location.
Prospective franchisees should note that they must attend training and may send additional people to training. Franchisees must complete the training to Chocolate Fish Coffee's satisfaction at least four weeks before opening their business. They will also be required to pass a test evaluating their understanding of the training content. Failing to pass the test or complete the initial training gives Chocolate Fish Coffee the right to terminate the franchise agreement with no refund of the initial franchise fee. The franchisee or a general manager who has completed the training program must always supervise the business on-site.
