What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Kidokinetics' 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay $500 per attendee per day for additional training. This cost covers the training fee itself. In addition to the per diem training fee, the franchisee is responsible for covering all travel-related expenses, including airfare, meals, transportation, lodging, and incidental costs, for each attendee participating in the additional training program. This applies whether the franchisee, their managers, or other employees attend the training.
Kidokinetics may also require franchisees or their staff to attend remedial training if they are not operating in compliance with the Franchise Agreement. This remedial training aims to address specific operational deficiencies identified during inspections. The same $500 per attendee per day fee applies to remedial training, along with the responsibility for all associated travel and lodging expenses. Alternatively, if the training is conducted at the franchisee's Kidokinetics Business location, the franchisee must reimburse Kidokinetics for all expenses incurred by their representatives in providing the training.
Furthermore, Kidokinetics may offer mandatory or optional additional training programs, requiring attendance for up to 5 days each year at a designated location. The franchisee is responsible for the then-current additional training fees, which are currently $500 per person per day, as well as all travel, transportation, lodging, meals, and other related expenses. This fee structure and expense responsibility are consistent across various types of additional training, whether it is requested by the franchisee, required by Kidokinetics for compliance issues, or part of a broader optional training program.
