What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Desi District offers some assistance to franchisees in hiring and training employees. Specifically, Desi District will provide suggested staffing levels and guidelines for hiring employees. They also provide operational instructions in the Brand Standards Manual that franchisees can use as part of training new employees.
Desi District also provides an initial training program. The training program includes both classroom and on-the-job training. The classroom and on-the-job training cover topics such as Desi District culture, operations basics, pricing, front and back of house operations, FAQs, and client satisfaction. The training location is either in Frisco, TX, or at the franchisee's location.
However, the FDD clearly states that all final hiring decisions and employment conditions are the sole responsibility of the franchisee. This means that while Desi District offers guidance and training resources, the franchisee is ultimately in charge of selecting, hiring, and managing their employees. This is a fairly typical arrangement in franchising, where the franchisor provides support and systems, but the franchisee manages the day-to-day operations, including staffing.
