What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dryject can establish additional training programs in the future. The franchisee, certain management personnel, key employees, and individuals with a 20% or greater ownership stake may be required to attend and satisfactorily complete these programs. The specific individuals required to attend will be identified in Addendum B to the Franchise Agreement.
Failure to complete the initial training program to Dryject's satisfaction allows Dryject to extend the training program. Satisfactory completion of all mandatory training sessions is required, and failure to do so constitutes a breach of the Franchise Agreement. The initial training program lasts approximately four days and must be completed before the franchised business opens.
This clause gives Dryject the ability to ensure franchisees and their staff remain up-to-date with the latest operational standards and practices. For a prospective franchisee, this means they and potentially their key staff must be prepared to invest time and resources in ongoing training as mandated by Dryject. The franchisee should clarify the potential frequency, location, and costs associated with these additional training programs.
