What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee chooses to appoint a Designated Manager to oversee the day-to-day operations of the franchise, that manager, including any replacement manager, must attend and complete all required training before assuming any management responsibilities. This requirement ensures that anyone in a management role is properly trained in Spray Net's operational standards.
If a Designated Manager's employment is terminated, the franchisee must designate a new Designated Manager who must successfully complete the initial training program. This 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 period. In that case, the replacement Designated Manager must attend and successfully complete the first available initial training program.
The franchisee may be charged an Additional Training Fee for a replacement Designated Manager. The franchisee is also responsible for covering all costs associated with airfare, ground transportation, lodging, meals, and the Designated Manager's salary and benefits. Failure by the Designated Manager to attend and complete the Initial Training Program, or any other required training, constitutes a material default of the Franchise Agreement and grounds for termination if not cured within the appropriate cure period.
