What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Desi District Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Onboarding Graduation' training can take place either in Frisco, TX, or at the franchisee's location. This offers flexibility for new franchisees, allowing them to complete this final stage of training at a corporate site or the convenience of their own business location.
This flexibility extends to other training subjects as well. The FDD specifies that various training modules such as 'Getting Started with Desi District Culture, History, and Basic Setup', 'Operations Basics', 'Pricing', 'Front of House Operations', 'Back of House Operations', 'FAQ’s', 'Client Satisfaction', 'Opening the Location', 'Closing the Location', 'Deep Clean and Maintenance', 'Equipment Maintenance', 'Weekly Duties', and 'Other Procedure Reviews / Miscellaneous' can also be conducted in either Frisco, TX, or at the franchisee's location.
The 'Onboarding Graduation' module itself involves 1 hour of classroom training and no on-the-job training. This suggests it is a relatively short and likely a more formal completion of the training process. The franchisee should discuss with Desi District which location option best suits their needs and logistical considerations.
