Training

Buffalo’s Cafe offers a structured training program to support franchisees in successfully operating their restaurants. Here are the training programs provided by the franchisor:

1. Initial Training for Core Team: Buffalo’s Cafe provides training at no charge for the owner, the initial General Manager, and the initial Assistant Manager. This training ensures that the key team members are equipped with operational knowledge and the standards required by the brand.
2. Optional and Additional Training: If the franchisee sends additional personnel for initial training or requires training for newly hired or replacement staff, a fee may apply. The franchisor may also charge for extra or special training sessions requested by the franchisee, as well as for any training programs provided periodically.

Territory Protection

Buffalo’s Cafe does not explicitly guarantee exclusive territory protection to its franchisees. The franchise documentation focuses on operational and financial aspects but does not reference any clearly defined or contractually granted exclusive geographic area where no other Buffalo’s Cafe franchises can operate.

This suggests that while a franchisee may have an implied area of operation, it is not legally protected from encroachment by other franchisees or company-owned locations.

Furthermore, Buffalo’s Cafe retains the right to establish additional locations in proximity to existing franchises. This could potentially lead to market saturation or competition among franchisees in the same region.
