What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Crepe De Licious Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee replaces their designated manager at any point during the term of the Franchise Agreement, that replacement manager is required to attend and successfully complete the first available Initial Training Program. This training may be conducted at the Crepe De Licious headquarters, at a Restaurant, Kiosk, or Food Truck operated by another franchisee, or at another location designated by Crepe De Licious.
The franchisee is responsible for covering the costs associated with this training, including a training fee for each replacement manager. Additionally, the franchisee must pay for airfare, ground transportation, lodging, meals, and other expenses incurred by the replacement manager during training.
Crepe De Licious also offers ongoing training, and may require that franchisees, designated managers, and other employees attend system-wide refresher or additional training courses. If a Crepe De Licious location is not operating in compliance with the Franchise Agreement, the franchisee may be required to attend remedial training to address any operational deficiencies.
