Does Hardees provide training on the preparation of Hand-Breaded Chicken?

According to Hardees' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the FMTP (Franchise Management Training Program) includes training modules related to Hand-Breaded Chicken preparation. Specifically, the training covers breading, the preparation of buttermilk and egg wash, and the creation of Hand-Breaded Chicken Tender Boxes in 10-, 15-, and 20-piece sizes. This suggests that franchisees and their staff will receive formal instruction on the correct procedures for preparing these menu items.

The training program is provided to the franchisee, their Operating Principal (if not previously trained), the General Manager, and six Shift Leaders at no additional cost if the training occurs within two years of signing the Franchise Agreement. Hardees also provides access to Star University (StarU), an online Learning Management System, for a fee of $14 per fiscal period.

This comprehensive training approach indicates Hardees' commitment to maintaining consistent product quality and service standards across all franchise locations. Franchisees should ensure that they and their employees fully utilize these training resources to properly execute menu offerings like Hand-Breaded Chicken and adhere to Hardees' operational guidelines.
