Brass Tap offers a thorough training program for franchisees and their teams to ensure they are fully prepared to operate and manage their Brass Tap Bar. This program encompasses all critical aspects of running the franchise, from product knowledge and customer service to operational procedures and adherence to brand standards.
The initial training program is mandatory for franchisees, their Operating Partner, and Operating Manager. This intensive training equips key personnel with the essential knowledge and skills needed to run a Brass Tap Bar efficiently. Covering a comprehensive range of topics, the training takes place prior to the opening of the franchise location.
Beyond the initial training, franchisees and their managers must participate in ongoing training programs and seminars provided by Brass Tap. These sessions aim to offer continuous education, ensuring franchisees stay current with any updates to operational procedures, products, or services offered by Brass Tap.
During the opening week of the franchise, Brass Tap provides on-site training support and assistance. Trained representatives from Brass Tap are available to help train staff and ensure a seamless start to business operations. Franchisees are responsible for covering the costs associated with their trainees' participation in any training program, including travel, lodging, meals, and wages.
Brass Tap provides franchisees with a protected geographic territory, known as the "Protected Territory," for operating their Brass Tap Bar. This territory typically encompasses an area within a 3-mile radius of the franchise location. Franchisees are limited to operating their business only from the approved site and may only offer or sell system products and services from the Brass Tap Bar.
Franchisees can solicit and accept business from outside their territory and advertise their Brass Tap Bar beyond their territory. However, they are prohibited from using channels such as the internet, catalog sales, telemarketing, or other direct marketing methods to make sales outside their territory. While the franchise agreement is in effect, except under specific conditions, Brass Tap will not sell another franchise or open a Brass Tap Bar within a franchisee's Protected Territory.
During the term of the Site Selection Period, Brass Tap will also refrain from selling another franchise or opening a Brass Tap Bar within a franchisee's Site Selection Area(s). Nonetheless, Brass Tap and its affiliates retain the right to establish Brass Tap Bars outside the Protected Territory, operate businesses under different marks both within and outside the Protected Territory, and develop, use, and license products or services not associated with the System, both inside and outside the Protected Territory.
