What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Moe's Southwest Grill Franchise Disclosure Document, all required trainees must successfully complete the Management Training Program at least one week prior to the scheduled opening date of the franchised business. This requirement ensures that franchisees and their staff are adequately prepared to manage and operate the restaurant according to Moe's standards before commencing operations.
If the opening date changes and the required trainees completed the Management Training Program more than 120 days before the revised opening date, Moe's Southwest Grill may require them to attend up to an additional week of training. In this case, the franchisee may be required to pay the then-current daily training fee for each required trainee, which is currently $250 per trainee per day, and this fee may be increased annually by no more than the Allowed Adjustment. This policy ensures that training remains current and relevant, even if there are delays in the opening of the franchise.
Moe's Southwest Grill retains the right to determine whether a trainee has successfully completed the Management Training Program. If a required trainee fails to successfully complete the program, they must re-enroll in the next scheduled applicable Management Training Program at no additional charge. However, Moe's Southwest Grill has the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement if, after the Management Training Program and re-enrollment training (if any), none of the required trainees has successfully completed the Management Training Program, highlighting the critical importance of successful training completion for maintaining the franchise agreement.
