What is the definition of 'reasonable fee' that Desi District Franchise Group may charge for training programs?

According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Desi District may require the Principal Executive and/or any other employees to complete training programs at any time, in any format, and in any location determined by Desi District. Desi District may charge a 'reasonable fee' for these training programs. However, the FDD does not define what constitutes a 'reasonable fee.'

While the FDD does not provide a specific definition of 'reasonable fee,' it does state in section 4.4 that if a franchisee sends an employee to Desi District's training program after opening, Desi District may charge its then-current training fee. As of the date of the agreement, the training fee is $350 per day. This provides some context as to what Desi District considers a reasonable fee for training programs.

Prospective franchisees should inquire with Desi District about the factors that determine the cost of training programs and what specific expenses the 'reasonable fee' covers. Understanding the potential costs associated with ongoing training is crucial for financial planning and assessing the overall investment required for a Desi District franchise.
