We conduct the Management Training Program periodically as needed. Training programs and classes are subject to space and time availability. All or certain portions of the Management Training Program may, in our discretion, be conducted online or in person at (i) our corporate headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, (ii) a Restaurant that we designate that has been certified by us as an authorized training facility (a "Certified Training Location") (which may be located outside of your state and may be operated by our franchisees), and/or (iii) other locations authorized by us. Currently, our classroom training is conducted through online modules and our on-the-job training is conducted at a Certified Training Location. For the third or subsequent Restaurants operated by you or your affiliates, if you have a Certified Training Manager (as defined below) and operate a Certified Training Location (as defined below), we may, in our sole discretion, allow you to provide the Management Training Program to your Required Trainees.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Moes Southwest Grill Franchise Disclosure Document, the Management Training Program can be conducted at several locations. These include Moes Southwest Grill's corporate headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, a Restaurant designated as a Certified Training Location, or other locations authorized by Moes Southwest Grill. The Certified Training Location may be operated by other franchisees and could be located outside of the franchisee's state. Currently, the classroom portion of the training is conducted online, while the on-the-job training takes place at a Certified Training Location.
For franchisees operating a third or subsequent Moes Southwest Grill location, the FDD states that if they have a Certified Training Manager and operate a Certified Training Location, they may be allowed to provide the Management Training Program to their own required trainees. However, Moes Southwest Grill retains the right to withhold or revoke certification of a franchisee's Certified Training Location, in which case the franchisee's trainees would be required to attend the Management Training Program at another location designated by Moes Southwest Grill.
Prospective franchisees should note that Moes Southwest Grill maintains discretion over the training program's location and format. This flexibility allows Moes Southwest Grill to adapt the training to current needs and resources. Franchisees should inquire about the specific requirements for becoming a Certified Training Location if they plan to expand to multiple units, as this could provide more control over the training process for their employees.
