What are the requirements for a Franchised Business to be designated as a Certified Training Location for a Moes Southwest Grill franchise?

According to the 2025 Moes Southwest Grill FDD, if a franchisee and its affiliates operate two or more franchised businesses, Moes Southwest Grill may require or permit them to provide the Management Training Program to their trainees. However, before they can do so, one or more of their franchised businesses must be certified by Moes Southwest Grill as a Certified Training Location.

To be designated as a Certified Training Location, a Moes Southwest Grill franchised business must meet specific requirements. First, it must achieve compliance scores specified by Moes Southwest Grill. Second, the franchised business must fully comply with the then-current standards set by Moes Southwest Grill. Third, it must employ the minimum number of managers as specified in Section 12.7 of the franchise agreement, in addition to having a Certified Training Manager. Finally, the franchised business must meet any other requirements that Moes Southwest Grill may specify from time to time.

Moes Southwest Grill retains the discretion to grant, withhold, or revoke certification for a Certified Training Location at any time, and may also change the minimum requirements for certification. If a Certified Training Manager ceases to be a manager of a Certified Training Location or has their certification revoked, the franchised business must be re-certified as a Certified Training Location before offering training again. If Moes Southwest Grill withholds or revokes certification of a Certified Training Location, they may require trainees to attend the Management Training Program at another designated location and may charge the then-current training fee for such training.
