What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Golden Krust Caribbean Restaurant's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, initial training is provided to the franchisee (or their managing owner) and one managerial employee. This training covers essential aspects of the business, including equipment selection, supplier management, cooking processes, merchandising, marketing, accounting, and basic management. The training is conducted at Golden Krust's training facility in the Bronx, New York, or at a designated training center, a functioning restaurant, or even the franchisee's own restaurant after it opens.
The initial training program includes one week of classroom instruction, two weeks of in-store training at another designated training center or functioning restaurant, and one week of in-store training at the franchisee's location during the opening phase. The classroom training is delivered through a combination of in-person and virtual formats. Golden Krust Caribbean Restaurant aims to be flexible in scheduling training to accommodate their personnel as well as the franchisee and their staff.
Furthermore, if a franchisee completes the training but does not open their restaurant within 6 to 9 months, they will need to retake the pre-opening and store operations training. Golden Krust Caribbean Restaurant also provides ongoing refresher training as staff changes occur and as new systems, products, and procedures are introduced. Franchisees are responsible for covering all travel and lodging expenses associated with attending these refresher training sessions.
