What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hck Hot Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a training manager (TM) certified individual is authorized to provide Hck Hot Chicken's initial training to restaurant managers and assistant managers. Hck Hot Chicken currently offers two types of certifications: training manager (TM) and restaurant manager (RM).
The document states that Hck Hot Chicken will not charge for the certification of the first TM or RM. However, the franchisee is responsible for covering the on-site training fee for each restaurant opened, as detailed in Item 5.
Furthermore, franchisees are required to have at least one RM and, if they have an obligation to open one or more restaurants, one TM on staff when they own three or more Hck Hot Chicken restaurants, whether directly or through affiliates. This ensures that franchisees with multiple locations have adequately trained staff to maintain operational standards.
