What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cinnabon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the management training program for bakeries that are not co-branded includes 9 hours of classroom training dedicated to food safety. This training is currently conducted online. In addition to the classroom training, there are 2 hours of on-the-job training in food safety.

The online format of the classroom training offers flexibility, while the on-the-job component ensures practical application of the knowledge. Food safety is a critical aspect of running a food service business, and this dedicated training aims to equip franchisees with the necessary skills to maintain a safe and compliant operation.
It is important to note that Cinnabon may modify the Management Training Program. The FDD states that the training programs and classes are subject to space and time availability and that all or certain portions of the Management Training Program may be conducted online or in person at various authorized locations. A prospective franchisee should confirm the current format and location of the training program with Cinnabon before signing the Franchise Agreement.
