What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Hck Hot Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are two types of certifications offered: Training Manager (TM) and Restaurant Manager (RM). Franchisees must have at least one certified Restaurant Manager at each open and operating restaurant.

At the franchisee's request, Hck Hot Chicken will train the franchisee or an employee to become a training manager, who can then conduct new restaurant opening training programs. The Training Manager may also provide the Initial Training Program to the franchisee's Restaurant Manager(s) and assistant Restaurant Manager(s).

If a franchisee owns three or more restaurants, they must employ a TM. Otherwise, upon opening their fourth restaurant, they must pay a $5,000 non-refundable additional training fee before initial training and the current fees for their Restaurant Manager(s) and assistant Restaurant Manager(s) to attend the Initial Training Program. Hck Hot Chicken reserves the right to decertify and recertify any Restaurant Manager or Training Manager.
