What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee will be charged a Replacement / Additional Training fee under specific circumstances. If a Desi District franchisee sends a manager or other employee to the training program after the franchise location has opened, the franchisee will be charged a training fee.
The fee for replacement or additional training is currently $350 per day. This fee is due prior to attending the training program.
This means that the initial training for the franchisee (or their designated manager) is included in the initial franchise fee. However, if the franchisee needs to train additional staff or replace a manager after the restaurant is operational, they will incur this daily training fee. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as it covers the costs associated with providing ongoing training and support.
