What is the on-site training fee for an Hck Hot Chicken franchise?

According to Hck Hot Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay an on-site training fee of $5,000 for each restaurant they open. This fee is invoiced approximately 60 days before the anticipated grand opening date. The FDD specifies that this fee is uniform for all franchisees. Once paid, the on-site training fee is nonrefundable.

This fee is separate from the initial training program, which Hck Hot Chicken provides tuition-free for up to three representatives. However, franchisees are responsible for covering their representatives' travel, food, and lodging expenses during the initial training. These costs can vary based on factors like distance traveled, mode of transportation, accommodation preferences, and the number of attendees.

The on-site training fee is part of the estimated initial investment, which ranges from $215,500 to $1,243,600. This total includes various expenses such as the initial franchise fee, real estate costs, leasehold improvements, equipment, inventory, and grand opening marketing spend. Prospective franchisees should carefully review all the estimated costs and develop a detailed business plan and budget, consulting with a business advisor to assess the financial implications of opening an Hck Hot Chicken franchise.
