When is the payment for substitute or new manager training due to Monicals Pizza?

According to Monicals Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the fee for substitute or new manager training is due at the time of training. The cost is currently $500 per day, in addition to the franchisee's expenses for attending the training. Monicals Pizza provides an initial training program before operations begin and ongoing training programs during the franchise term. If a franchisee has to repeat these training programs, Monicals Pizza may charge a fee.

This means that if a Monicals Pizza franchisee needs to send a substitute or new manager to training, they should be prepared to pay the $500 per day fee, plus cover the manager's expenses, at the time the training is conducted. This could be a significant expense, especially if the training lasts for several days or if the franchisee is located far from the training location. Franchisees should factor this potential cost into their budget and consider the implications of high employee turnover or the need for additional training.

It is important to note that Monicals Pizza does not charge fees for the initial training programs provided to the designated manager of the franchise. However, if a franchisee replaces their designated manager excessively or due to poor hiring practices, Monicals Pizza may charge a fee for subsequent training programs. This incentivizes franchisees to carefully select and retain their managers to avoid incurring additional training costs.
