What expenses are the responsibility of the Crepe De Licious franchisee in connection with initial training?

According to Crepe De Licious's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, as a franchisee, you are responsible for covering certain expenses related to the initial training program. While Crepe De Licious provides the initial training to you, your initial manager, and one other person without a tuition fee, you will have to pay for the cost of travel, room and board, and other personal expenses incurred by each person attending the training.

If you wish to have additional people attend the initial training, and if Crepe De Licious has the capacity to accommodate them, you will be charged an additional fee of $2,000 per person. This cost is separate from the travel, room and board, and personal expenses, which you would also need to cover for these additional attendees.

It is important to note that Crepe De Licious has the sole discretion to decide the location of the initial training, which could be at a Restaurant, Kiosk, or Food Truck operated by a franchisee or an affiliate, at their training facility, or at another location in the United States. Therefore, franchisees should factor in potential travel costs based on various possible training locations when budgeting for the initial training program.
