What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Deer Solution provides supplemental on-site training, the franchisee is responsible for covering the costs. This supplemental training may be required if the franchisee is not meeting the System's performance standards, as determined by Deer Solution.
The franchisee will be required to pay a supplemental training fee, which is currently $500 per on-site trainer, per day. In addition to the daily training fee, the franchisee must also cover the travel expenses, meals, and accommodation expenses incurred by Deer Solution.
This means that a Deer Solution franchisee needs to budget not only for the initial training of themselves and their managers but also for potential supplemental training if their business underperforms. The costs for this supplemental training can include significant daily fees plus all travel-related expenses for the trainer, making it a potentially substantial expense. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, where franchisees often bear the costs of additional training deemed necessary by the franchisor.
