What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the in-store training program includes specific lessons on dough and roll preparation. On Day 4 of in-store training, one hour is dedicated to making dough and rolls, as well as proper labeling. Day 5 includes a lesson on identifying when and how to bake, cool, store, and sample the rolls. Following this, trainees will spend an hour assembling rolls for sale and display.
These training sessions are conducted at a Cinnaholic-approved facility, typically in Atlanta, Georgia, but the location can vary. The initial training program lasts a minimum of one week (5 to 7 days) per attendee. A minimum of one manager must become certified through this training program for each Cinnaholic location.
Prospective franchisees should note that while Cinnaholic provides comprehensive training on making dough and rolls, the franchisee or their managers are ultimately responsible for training their own employees. This includes ensuring that all staff members are proficient in these essential preparation and handling techniques. The cost associated with the initial training program is the responsibility of the franchisee, including travel, lodging, meals, and compensation for the managers attending the training.
