What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hardee's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the fees for Other Training are due before the commencement of training. These fees, according to Item 6, are based on actual materials, vendor charges, and facility costs, and are likely to range from $300 to $1,000.
This means that a prospective Hardee's franchisee must budget for these training expenses and ensure payment is made before the training begins. It is important to note that this cost does not include travel, living, and other expenses incurred by the franchisee and their employees while attending the training, which are separate costs the franchisee will also be responsible for.
Franchisors typically require payment for training programs to ensure commitment and cover the costs associated with providing the training. The relatively low range of $300 to $1,000 for the Other Training fees themselves suggests that Hardee's aims to keep these direct costs manageable, though franchisees should be prepared for the additional indirect costs of travel and accommodation.
