Under what condition can a Crave franchisee train replacement managers before training their entire staff?

According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee can train replacement managers under Crave's training program before training their entire staff if the franchise agreement is for their third or later franchised business. This is contingent upon Crave approving the franchisee to provide the training.

This policy benefits experienced Crave franchisees who are expanding their operations. By allowing these franchisees to train replacement managers early, Crave enables them to quickly address staffing needs without waiting to train the entire staff. This can be particularly useful in situations where a manager leaves unexpectedly or a new location requires immediate management support.

However, it's important to note that Crave must approve the franchisee as a trainer before they can conduct any training. This ensures that the training provided meets Crave's standards and maintains consistency across all franchise locations. Additionally, this option is only available to franchisees who are opening their third or subsequent Crave location, indicating that Crave places a high value on experience and proven success within the franchise system before granting this privilege.
