What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the training hours vary depending on whether you are opening a restaurant or a food truck. For a restaurant, the total hours of classroom training across all subjects is '15 55' hours, and the total hours of on-the-job training is 37 hours. For a food truck, the total hours of classroom training across all subjects is '12 28' hours, and the total hours of on-the-job training is 16 hours.
For a Crave restaurant, the classroom training covers topics such as Orientation, Restaurant Operations, Food Prep Station, Line Cook/Food Assembly, Food Expediter & Delivery, and General Manager. The on-the-job training location is at a training facility designated by Crave or at an operating Crave business. For a Crave food truck, the classroom training covers topics such as Orientation, Truck Operations, Food Prep Station, Line Cook/Food Assembly, and General Manager. The on-the-job training location is at a training facility designated by Crave or at an operating Crave business.
Prospective franchisees should note the difference in training hours between the restaurant and food truck models. The restaurant model requires significantly more on-the-job training hours (37) compared to the food truck model (16). The classroom training is also higher for the restaurant model at '15 55' hours compared to '12 28' hours for the food truck. This difference likely reflects the greater complexity of operating a full-scale restaurant compared to a food truck. Franchisees should consider their own experience and capabilities when deciding which model to pursue, keeping in mind the time commitment required for training.
