The franchisor offers an extensive training program for franchisees, which includes "In-Store Training" and "New Owner Training."
In-Store Training: This segment includes around 240 hours of practical training, where participants learn the operational aspects of running the franchise. It covers essential elements of day-to-day operations such as food preparation, customer service, and store management.
New Owner Training: This part consists of approximately 40 hours, focusing on the core principles of managing the franchise. Depending on the franchisor's preference, this training can be conducted online or in person. In-person training typically takes place at the franchisor's training and education center in Scottsdale, Arizona, or at another specified location.
Franchisees are responsible for covering all costs related to transportation, food, lodging, and other personal expenses during the training. The program is mandatory for up to two individuals involved with the franchise, with at least one having an ownership interest.
Additionally, the franchisor may require franchisees and their managers to participate in extra training sessions if the business does not meet the franchisor's system standards.
The Baja Fresh Franchise Disclosure Document specifies that even if a franchise agreement includes a designated territory for the franchisee, the franchisor retains the right to compete within that area. This means the franchisor can open its own outlets or grant franchises to other individuals within the existing franchisee's territory.
While there might be some level of territorial consideration, it does not offer absolute protection from competition by the franchisor within that designated territory.
