What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Moe's Southwest Grill FDD, a Manager must meet specific criteria to become a Certified Training Manager. The Manager must first complete the Management Training Program at least six months before applying for certification. They also need to maintain specific food safety programs and attend any additional required training programs that Moe's Southwest Grill may specify. Furthermore, the Manager must meet any other qualifications that Moe's Southwest Grill specifies from time to time.
These requirements ensure that the Certified Training Manager is well-versed in Moe's Southwest Grill's standards and procedures. This allows them to effectively train other employees. The FDD also states that Moe's Southwest Grill has the discretion to change the minimum requirements for certification of a Certified Training Manager at any time.
Moe's Southwest Grill may require Certified Training Managers to be recertified if they transfer to another franchised business, no longer meet the current requirements, or annually. If a Certified Training Manager is no longer a manager at a Certified Training Location or has their certification revoked, the franchised business must be recertified before offering training again. This ensures that all training locations maintain the required standards.
