The franchisor offers extensive training for franchisees, their Operating Principals, Center Administrators, and other designated personnel, ensuring all critical aspects of operating a franchised business that develops and manages a Center are covered.
Initial Training Program:
Location and Schedule: Conducted at the franchisor's offices in Birmingham, Alabama, or at a designated training facility chosen by the franchisor, typically on a quarterly basis.
Content: Focuses on the franchisor's Manual and includes customer service, office and staff scheduling, supply ordering, front desk operations, back-office operations, and file maintenance and security.
Instructors: Provided by department heads and management team members, along with additional staff based on their expertise in specific aspects of the system.
Duration and Frequency: Determined by the franchisor, with instructors generally having between 1 and 5 years of relevant industry experience.
Additional and Ongoing Training:
The franchisor may require attendance at various training courses, conventions, regional meetings, and conferences at designated times and locations, with the right to charge reasonable fees for these sessions.
Initial training for required attendees is provided at no charge, but additional attendees may incur a training fee. Franchisees cover all travel and living expenses during training.
Territory Protection
The franchisor provides certain protections within the territory granted to its franchisees. Once a location is approved as the "Premises," it will be specified in the Franchise Agreement, and the "Territory" will be defined. While the franchisee is granted a territory to manage the Center, it is important to note that this territory is not exclusive.
Franchisees may face competition from outlets owned by the franchisor or from other distribution channels or competitive brands controlled by the franchisor.
However, except under specific conditions outlined in the Franchise Agreement, the franchisor will not establish or operate, nor grant a franchise for another Franchised Business or a similar urgent care management business operating under a different mark or trade name, within the franchisee's Territory during the term of the Franchise Agreement.
