What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dryject may offer additional training programs beyond the initial training. The franchise agreement states that individuals involved in the management or operation of the franchised business, including the franchisee (if an individual), key employees, and those with a 20% or more ownership interest, must attend and satisfactorily complete the initial training program. Furthermore, these individuals must attend and satisfactorily complete any additional training programs that Dryject may establish in the future.
Dryject retains the option to designate who must attend these training programs, and this designation will be specified in an addendum to the franchise agreement. Failure to complete the initial training program satisfactorily may result in an extension of the training program, and failure to complete all mandatory training sessions constitutes a breach of the agreement. The initial training program lasts approximately four days and must be completed before the franchised business opens.
This clause in the Dryject franchise agreement allows Dryject to mandate further training for franchisees and their staff, ensuring that they stay updated with Dryject's standards, methods, and procedures. This is a fairly common practice in franchising, as it helps maintain consistency and quality across all franchise locations. Prospective franchisees should inquire about the frequency, content, and cost (if any) of these additional training programs to fully understand the ongoing training requirements.
