What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Southern Steer Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific topics covered during the first week of the initial training program are not detailed. The FDD states that the Initial Training Program will include instruction on topics selected by Southern Steer.
The Initial Training Program lasts up to two weeks and is provided to the franchisee or their Operating Principal and Designated Manager. The training takes place at Southern Steer's headquarters in Florida or another designated location. The instructional materials include the Brand Manual, training videos, and other written, electronic, or online resources and tests. Some portions of the training may be completed before attending in person.
Since the FDD does not specify the topics covered in the first week, it is important for a prospective franchisee to ask Southern Steer for a detailed syllabus or agenda of the Initial Training Program. This will help them understand the specific areas of focus and plan accordingly for their training and business launch.
