What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hardees' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the train-the-trainer model for both CrunchTime and PAR Brink is conducted remotely. The training includes 4 hours of remote classroom attendance and will incorporate a screen share. For PAR Brink, the remote training is the only option available, as onsite training is not offered.
For the PAR Brink system, the training will include a screen share and a virtual terminal walk-through of order-taking operations, specifically focusing on front-of-house activities. Additionally, Hardees provides two days of post-installation go-live support for the first two franchised restaurants using the PAR Brink system.
Prospective Hardees franchisees should note that advance class registration is required for CrunchTime training. The start date for the training is to be determined (TBD). This remote training approach is increasingly common in franchising, offering flexibility and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional in-person training programs.
