What is the cost for substitute or new manager training at Monicals Pizza?

According to Monicals Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cost for substitute or new manager training is currently $500 per day, plus the trainee's expenses in attending the training. Monicals Pizza provides an initial training program before operations begin and ongoing training programs during the franchise term. While there are no fees for the initial training of a designated manager, Monicals Pizza may charge a fee if a franchisee replaces their designated manager excessively or due to poor hiring practices.

This fee covers the cost of the training program itself and is intended to offset the expenses Monicals Pizza incurs when providing additional training. The franchisee is also responsible for covering the expenses of the person attending the training, such as travel, lodging, and meals. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as it ensures that franchisees have qualified managers in place while also holding them accountable for responsible hiring and retention practices.

Prospective Monicals Pizza franchisees should factor in these potential training costs when budgeting for their franchise. It is important to have a solid hiring and training plan in place to minimize the risk of incurring these additional fees. Franchisees should also inquire about what constitutes "excessive" manager changes and what specific factors Monicals Pizza considers when determining whether the changes are due to poor hiring practices.
