What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the on-the-job training hours for Line Cook/Food Assembly vary. One table indicates 2 hours of on-the-job training, while another indicates 2 hours. This discrepancy suggests that the training program may be evolving or that different training programs exist.
Prospective franchisees should clarify with Crave which training schedule applies to their specific franchise location and whether the training hours are subject to change. Understanding the specific training duration is crucial for planning staff schedules and ensuring adequate preparation for the Line Cook/Food Assembly role.
It is also important to note that the training location is either at a designated training facility or at an operating Crave business. This means franchisees should be prepared to send their staff to either location for training. Clarifying the location and associated travel costs is an important consideration for budgeting and logistics.
