What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Crown Gold Exchange Franchise Disclosure Document, the training program incorporates an approval process. The instruction materials include an Onboarding Checklist that contains links organized by section for all applicable written procedures, training videos, learning checks referred to as Knowledge Reviews (automatically graded with correct answers provided, with a structure in place requiring successful completion via a minimum score threshold), and a shadowing/coaching checklist and approval process all required to successfully and fully complete the necessary training.
In addition to the approval process, franchisees must also pass a test to evaluate their understanding of the content and franchise operating content covered in the training program. This test must be passed at least two weeks before opening their business. If a franchisee fails to pass the test or complete the initial training, Crown Gold Exchange has the right to terminate the franchise agreement with no refund of the initial franchise fee.
Crown Gold Exchange also requires that the business be under the on-site supervision of the franchisee or a general manager who has completed the training program. If a new general manager needs to attend the training program, there is a fee of $250 per day. This ensures that the brand standards and operational procedures are consistently maintained at each franchise location.
