The following provisions and conditions control with respect to personnel, training and supervision.
- A. Supervision of the Business. Your Business must at all times be under your direct supervision or a designated principal owner in the event you are a corporation, partnership, or other business entity. Your principal owners must be those persons who are actively involved in the Business and the principal owners must be Personal Guarantors and sign an undertaking and guarantee in accordance with Subparagraph 16.F of this Agreement.
- B. Training. You must, at your expense for room, board and travel, attend and successfully complete our KITCHEN SOLVERS Pre-Opening Training Program at a place we designate. You may not begin operating your Business until you successfully complete the KITCHEN SOLVERS Pre-Opening Training Program. In the event that you are given notice of default as set forth in Subparagraph 11.A and the default relates, in whole or in part, to your failure to meet any operational standards, we may require as a condition of curing the default that you again attend and successfully complete any additional training we deem appropriate, at a place we designate, and at your expense. If you desire to operate your Business with a manager other than you, then in addition to you, such manager must attend and successfully complete our Pre-Opening Training Program, at your expense, prior to undertaking such operations.
If you request and if we agree, we will provide you in-field training at our then current rate for this training.
We will provide any additional ongoing support training as we determine necessary.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Kitchen Solvers Franchise Disclosure Document, the document does not specify required training for an assignee in the event of a franchise transfer. However, the FDD does state that new franchisees must attend and successfully complete the KITCHEN SOLVERS Pre-Opening Training Program before beginning operations.
Item 22 details the training required for the franchisee and any manager they employ. The franchisee must attend and successfully complete the Kitchen Solvers Pre-Opening Training Program at their own expense for room, board, and travel. If the franchisee wants to operate the business with a manager, that manager must also attend and successfully complete the Pre-Opening Training Program at their expense before starting operations.
To gain clarity on the training requirements for assignees in a franchise transfer scenario, a prospective franchisee should directly ask Kitchen Solvers about the specific training programs or qualifications needed for an assignee to be approved. This will ensure a full understanding of the obligations and costs associated with transferring a Kitchen Solvers franchise.
