What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee needs to send a replacement Operating Manager to the initial training program, they will incur a supplemental training fee. This fee is currently $600 per manager per day. This cost covers the expense of providing the initial training to the replacement manager.
This fee is important for prospective Deck Medic franchisees to consider as it adds to the overall cost of training, especially if there is turnover in the Operating Manager position. Franchisees should factor this potential expense into their budget and understand the circumstances under which a replacement Operating Manager might be necessary. It is also important to note that this fee is subject to change, as it is described as the "then current" fee, so franchisees should confirm the current fee with Deck Medic before incurring this expense.
In the franchise industry, it is common for franchisors to charge supplemental training fees for additional or replacement personnel. This helps to cover the costs associated with providing the training and ensures that all managers are properly trained in the Deck Medic system. Franchisees should inquire about the content and duration of the initial training program to better understand the value and necessity of this training fee.
