What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Moes Southwest Grill's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Subsequent Trainee Management Training Fee is incurred when a franchisee appoints a new manager, primary contact, director of operations, or another designated person after the restaurant opens, and Moes Southwest Grill provides management training to them. This fee covers the cost of this training.
The fee is Moes Southwest Grill's then-current fee, which is currently $250 per trainee per day. This fee must be paid before the trainee attends the training program.
Moes Southwest Grill retains the right to modify this fee annually, but any increase will not exceed the 'Allowed Adjustment.' This 'Allowed Adjustment' will not exceed, at their option, (a) 50% of the fee that is in effect at the start of the calendar year or (b) the increase in the actual costs and expenses that they or their affiliates incur to provide such goods or services to you. This means that the cost could increase, but there are limitations to how much it can increase each year.
