What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a Designated Manager's employment with a franchisee is terminated, the franchisee must designate a new Designated Manager. This replacement manager is required to successfully complete Spray Net's initial training program. The training must be completed within 90 days after the termination of the initial Designated Manager, unless Spray Net does not hold an initial training program during that 90-day period. In that case, the replacement Designated Manager must attend and successfully complete the first available initial training program held by Spray Net.
The franchisee may be charged an Additional Training Fee for the replacement Designated Manager. Additionally, the franchisee is responsible for covering all costs associated with the replacement manager's training, including airfare, ground transportation, lodging, meals, salary, and benefits.
This policy ensures that all Spray Net franchise locations have a trained manager who meets the franchisor's standards. The franchisee bears the financial responsibility for replacing and training a Designated Manager, which could create unexpected expenses. Prospective franchisees should inquire about the typical costs associated with the Additional Training Fee and related expenses to budget accordingly.
