What expenses are the responsibility of the Crepe De Licious franchisee for initial training?

According to Crepe De Licious's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, as a franchisee, you are responsible for covering the costs of travel, room and board, and other personal expenses incurred by yourself and any staff members attending the initial training program. Crepe De Licious provides initial training to the franchisee, their initial manager, and one other person without a direct tuition charge. This training is scheduled on mutually convenient dates.

If the franchisee wishes to send additional people to the initial training, and if Crepe De Licious has the capacity to accommodate them, there is an additional fee of $2,000 per person. This cost is separate from the travel, lodging, and personal expenses already mentioned.

Crepe De Licious determines 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 another location within the United States. Franchisees should factor in these potential travel costs when budgeting for the initial setup of their Crepe De Licious franchise.
