required to participate in our initial training program in Minnesota (the "Initial Training"). The General Manager of

your Franchised Restaurant, your Approved Operator (if applicable), and at least two other management level employees who will work in the Restaurant must attend the Initial Training, which will generally last for three weeks, subject to modification from time to time in our sole discretion. Franchisees who are individuals and the Operating Partner or other representative approved by us of franchisees that are Entities must also attend and participate in the first week of the Initial Training. All attendees must complete the Initial Training to our satisfaction. We will not charge any fees for the first four (4) members of your training group to attend the Initial Training. We may charge our then-current fee for any additional members of the training group that you send to the Initial Training, as well as for you and your personnel attending any additional training programs (whether optional or mandatory). You will be responsible for all compensation and expenses (including travel, meals and lodging) incurred by you and your training group in attending any training programs. In addition to the Initial Training, a member of our staff will provide additional training to you, your Operating Partner, your General Manager, your Approved Operator (if applicable), your assistant managers, and your employees at the Premises of your Franchised Restaurant during the week of the opening of your Franchised Restaurant, which may include one or more days prior to opening and one or more days of live training after opening (the "Opening Training").

We may provide additional training from time to time because (i) we have determined, in our sole discretion, that further training beyond the Opening Training is necessary to ensure a smooth opening of your Franchised Restaurant, (ii) we have determined, in our sole discretion, to provide additional types of required training to our franchisees generally, or (iii) you have requested additional training (collectively, "Additional Training").

You will be responsible for all compensation and e

What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to the 2024 Crisp & Green Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program generally lasts for three weeks. However, Crisp & Green retains the sole discretion to modify the duration of the initial training program from time to time.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that the length of the initial training could be shorter or longer than three weeks, depending on Crisp & Green's assessment of the franchisee's needs and other factors. Franchisees who are individuals, and the Operating Partner or other representative approved by Crisp & Green of franchisees that are Entities, must also attend and participate in the first week of the Initial Training.

Crisp & Green may also waive the requirement that a person attend the initial training in whole or in part if the person has already completed the initial training within the immediately preceding twelve months in connection with the opening or operation of a different Crisp & Green restaurant. This flexibility allows Crisp & Green to tailor the training to the franchisee's specific circumstances and experience level.
