What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Truck Operations training takes place either at a training facility designated by Crave or at an operating Crave business. This training involves 5 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of on-the-job training.
For prospective Crave food truck franchisees, this means they should be prepared to travel to the designated training location, which could be Crave's corporate headquarters, an affiliate's location, or another site selected by Crave. The on-the-job portion suggests hands-on experience within an actual Crave food truck setting.
The FDD specifies that the initial training program lasts approximately one week, and it must be completed no later than 30 days before the scheduled opening of the food truck. This mandatory training must be completed to Crave's satisfaction by two trainees, which typically includes the franchisee or their general manager. If the franchisee or general manager fails to complete the training satisfactorily, a replacement must be designated and successfully complete the program before the franchise can open.
