What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, in the event of a franchise transfer, the transferee, the transferee's General Manager, and any other applicable Franchised Business personnel must complete any training programs that Crave has in effect for its franchisees. These training programs must be completed at the transferee's expense and under the terms and conditions that Crave reasonably requires.
This requirement ensures that the new owner and staff are properly trained in Crave's operating standards and procedures. This helps maintain consistency across all franchise locations and protects the brand's reputation.
In addition to the training requirements, the transferee must also pay a $5,000 transfer fee to Crave. This fee covers Crave's costs for reviewing the transfer application, including training expenses, and legal and accounting fees. The transferee must also execute Crave's standard franchise agreement and any other required ancillary agreements. The transferee is responsible for renovating and upgrading the Franchised Business to meet Crave's current standards and specifications.
