What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Fly To Fit will provide franchisees with suggested staffing levels and guidelines for hiring employees. These guidelines are referenced in Section 5.2 of the FDD. Additionally, Fly To Fit will provide operational instructions in the Brand Standards Manual, which franchisees can use as part of training new employees, as detailed in Section 5.3.
It is important to note that while Fly To Fit offers these resources, all hiring decisions and conditions of employment remain the sole responsibility of the franchisee. This means the franchisee is ultimately accountable for all employment-related matters, including compliance with labor laws and regulations.
Fly To Fit also provides on-site support for one week in connection with the business opening, which includes assisting in training employees. This initial support can be valuable for franchisees as they begin operations and build their team. The FDD also mentions training on "Client Interactions: Managing Relationships and Keeping People as Returning Customers - Creating the Experience - Running a Class - Hiring Instructors", with 12 hours of training at Albany, NY or the franchisee's location.
