What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Fat Shack's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes 0.5 hours of classroom training dedicated to Taxes & Insurance. This training takes place in either Denver or Fort Collins, Colorado.
In addition to the classroom training, Fat Shack also provides on-the-job training, though the FDD does not specify any on-the-job training hours for Taxes & Insurance. The initial training program is mandatory for you or your General Manager before opening your Fat Shack restaurant.
Prospective franchisees should consider the limited time dedicated to Taxes & Insurance in the initial training and may want to inquire about additional resources or support in these areas. While Fat Shack does offer ongoing support and training, the FDD specifies that attendance to additional training programs is optional unless Fat Shack provides 30 days prior written notice that it is mandatory.
