What is the estimated cost range for training expenses when opening a Crave restaurant?

According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated cost for training expenses ranges from $500 to $1,500. These expenses are associated with attending the initial training program and cover out-of-pocket costs such as travel, lodging, meals, and applicable wages for two trainees. The payment method is arranged between the franchisee and the airline, hotel, or restaurant providing the services. These expenses are due as arranged with those service providers.

This estimate does not include fees or expenses for training any personnel beyond the initial two trainees. The actual costs may fluctuate based on the franchisee's choices regarding lodging, dining, and transportation. The training program lasts approximately one week, so franchisees should factor in these variables when budgeting for training expenses.

Prospective Crave franchisees should carefully consider these costs and plan accordingly to ensure they have sufficient funds to cover the training of their initial staff. It is also important to note that these costs are in addition to other initial investment expenses, such as the initial franchise fee, leasehold improvements, and equipment purchases.
