Spray_Net Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
If a Designated Manager's employment with you is terminated, you must designate a new Designated Manager who must successfully complete our initial training program within 90 days after the termination of the initial Designated Manager, unless we do not hold an initial training program during that 90-day period in which case the replacement Designated Manager must attend and successfully complete the first available initial training program held by us. You may be charged an Additional Training Fee for a replacement Designated Manager, and the costs for airfare, ground transportation, lodging, meals, and the Designated Manager's salary and benefits must be paid by you.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a Designated Manager leaves the company, a replacement must complete the initial training program within 90 days of the original manager's termination. However, there is an exception: if Spray Net does not hold an initial training program within that 90-day window, the replacement Designated Manager has to attend and successfully complete the first available initial training program that Spray Net offers.
Spray Net may charge an Additional Training Fee for the replacement Designated Manager. The franchisee is responsible for covering the costs of airfare, lodging, meals, ground transportation, and the Designated Manager's salary and benefits during training.
This requirement ensures that all Designated Managers are properly trained in Spray Net's system. The cost of training a replacement manager, including the potential training fee and travel expenses, should be factored into the operational budget. Franchisees should confirm the amount of the Additional Training Fee with Spray Net to accurately forecast these potential costs.
