What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Desi District provides assistance in training employees as part of the opening support. Specifically, Desi District will provide franchisees with suggested staffing levels, guidelines for hiring, and operational instructions in the Brand Standards Manual for training new employees.
Additionally, Desi District offers an initial training program. This program includes both classroom and on-the-job training, covering topics such as Desi District's culture, operations, pricing, and customer service. The training takes place either in Frisco, TX, or at the franchisee's location. The training program consists of an Onboarding Checklist with links to written procedures, training videos, and a shadowing/coaching checklist.
Training classes are led by the franchisor or a delegate, such as a corporate-employed individual with at least one year of experience. While Desi District provides these resources and support, the FDD emphasizes that all hiring decisions and employment conditions remain the sole responsibility of the franchisee.
