What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Mrcool's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, payment for supplemental on-site training is due when invoiced and prior to the training. If a franchisee requests or Mrcool requires on-site training at the franchisee's center, the franchisee must pay Mrcool's current trainer fee plus expenses related to travel and accommodations. The current rate for supplemental on-site training is $899 per day per trainer, plus incurred expenses.
This means that a Mrcool franchisee needing extra on-site training will need to budget not only for the daily trainer fee, but also for any travel and accommodation costs Mrcool incurs to provide the training. The franchisee will need to make this payment before the training even begins, upon receipt of the invoice. This could impact a new franchisee's cash flow, especially if the training is extensive or requires trainers to travel long distances.
It is important for prospective Mrcool franchisees to understand the circumstances under which supplemental on-site training might be required. They should also inquire about the typical duration and costs associated with such training to accurately forecast potential expenses. Understanding these costs upfront will help in better financial planning and management of their Mrcool franchise.
