What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Cinnaholic Franchise Disclosure Document, the employee training schedule is not explicitly outlined on a specific page. However, the FDD does provide a table that details the classroom and in-store training lessons, including the times, topics, and locations (Atlanta, GA). This schedule spans multiple days and covers various aspects of operating a Cinnaholic bakery.

The training program includes both classroom and in-store training. The classroom training covers topics such as the Cinnaholic mission and vision, policy review, new hire paperwork, employee management (scheduling and payroll), inventory management, and social media management. The in-store training includes hands-on lessons such as inventory and equipment review, ingredient preparation, making various products (brown sugar mix, frosting, dough, rolls, baby buns, cookies, brownies, pie crumble), processing sales in the POS system, redeeming vouchers, refunding payments, issuing gift certificates, preparing coffee/tea/hot chocolate, taking phone orders, assembling rolls for sale and display, and reviewing dish techniques and daily cleaning tasks.

The initial training program lasts a minimum of one week (5 to 7 days) per attendee and takes place at a Cinnaholic approved facility, typically in Atlanta, Georgia. Cinnaholic requires at least one manager from each location to complete the training program to become certified. While there is no training or registration fee for these managers, the franchisee is responsible for covering all travel and living expenses, such as transportation, lodging, meals, and compensation. The FDD also mentions a Training Manual, which likely contains further details on the training program, but the specific pages outlining the employee training schedule are not identified in the provided excerpts.
