Initial Training Fee
You pay us a nonrefundable $5,000 initial franchise fee before you attend initial training, which covers both: (1) the 1-week initial training program we conduct at our company-owned Restaurant; and (2) the 2-week onsite training program we conduct at your Restaurant.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chop5 Salad Kitchen's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay a nonrefundable initial training fee of $5,000. This fee is due before attending the initial training program. This fee covers both the one-week initial training program at a company-owned restaurant and a two-week on-site training program at the franchisee's restaurant.
For multi-unit franchisees opening their second or subsequent Chop5 Salad Kitchen restaurant, the franchisor reserves the right to modify or waive parts of the initial training program. In such cases, Chop5 Salad Kitchen may offer a corresponding reduction or waiver of the initial training fee. This decision is based on the franchisor's assessment of the franchisee's and their management team's qualifications and experience.
The initial training fee is uniformly imposed, meaning that all new franchisees pay the same amount unless they qualify for a multi-unit discount or waiver. This fee is separate from the initial franchise fee, which is $40,000. Prospective franchisees should factor this $5,000 training fee into their initial investment costs when considering a Chop5 Salad Kitchen franchise.
