Food & Beverage
Bonchon offers a thorough training program that utilizes a blend of learning methods, including online modules, classroom instruction, and hands-on training at an approved restaurant location.
Who Needs to Attend
The initial training program must be attended and successfully completed by at least two individuals: the franchisee's Operating Principal and a full-time General Manager. Additionally, one other approved employee is required to undergo this training.
Training Content
The program covers a wide range of topics, including sales techniques, product orientation, accounting procedures, food preparation, and operations management.
Location and Duration
Training is conducted at Bonchon’s designated locations, which may include their headquarters.
Training Expenses
Bonchon covers direct training costs, such as instructors and materials. However, franchisees are responsible for all indirect costs associated with training.
Franchisees will not receive exclusive territory rights and may encounter competition from other franchisees, franchisor-owned outlets, or other distribution channels and competitive brands controlled by the franchisor.
However, franchisees are assigned a specific location known as the "Restaurant Location" within a designated protected territory, referred to as the "Protected Territory". This territory is where they are authorized to operate their Bonchon Restaurant.
The Protected Territory is generally defined using a mapping system. In most cases, except for high-density population centers, it includes the area within a circle centered on the Bonchon Restaurant Location, with a radius extending outward. The precise boundaries and size of this territory are determined by the specific market area, considering factors such as population density.
