Training 

Bojangles provides an extensive training program to ensure franchisees are well-prepared to run their restaurants effectively.

This program is tailored to familiarize franchisees with Bojangles' unique operational techniques. It covers all aspects of restaurant management, including maintaining the brand's high operational standards.

The training isn't limited to just franchisees. Bojangles recognizes the importance of comprehensive training for all staff members. Therefore, franchisees must implement a training program for their employees to ensure they adhere to Bojangles' standards.

In addition to the initial training, Bojangles offers ongoing operational training programs. These programs are designed to continually reinforce the brand's operational standards, ensuring that every Bojangles restaurant upholds the quality and service the brand is known for.

Territory Protection

When franchisees enter into a Development Agreement with Bojangles’, they are allocated a territory known as an "Assigned Area" as defined in the agreement. This Assigned Area is delineated using various criteria such as street boundaries, political subdivisions, or specific locations, intersections, or market areas.

The Assigned Area is determined based on factors like population density, traffic patterns, trade areas, and proximity to business hubs such as schools and hospitals. Franchisees must always secure Bojangles’ approval for each specific restaurant location within the Assigned Area.
