For Cinnabon Bakeries, what is the estimated range for trainer travel and living expenses per day?

According to Cinnabon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated cost for trainer travel and living expenses is between $250 to $300 per day for hotel and living expenses, plus $300 to $500 for flight expenses. This estimate is relevant when Cinnabon provides on-site training or assistance for a franchisee's third and subsequent bakeries. The need for on-site assistance is determined at Cinnabon's discretion.

This on-site training typically lasts for seven days, but only five days for freezer-proofer-oven operations. For co-branded bakeries, the high estimate includes the cost of two trainers for seven days. The franchisee is responsible for covering these expenses in addition to a $500 per trainer per day on-site training and assistance fee paid directly to Cinnabon.

Prospective franchisees should consider these costs when planning for the opening of multiple Cinnabon locations. The actual cost may vary depending on factors such as the trainer's point of origin, method of travel, class of accommodations, and dining choices. It's important to factor in these potential expenses to accurately forecast the financial requirements for expanding a Cinnabon franchise.
