Buttermilk Café provides a comprehensive set of training and support programs to franchisees. Here are the key training components outlined by the franchisor:
Buttermilk Café grants franchisees a “Protected Area,” typically a three-mile radius in suburban locations, where no other franchise unit will be opened if the franchisee remains in good standing.
However, this area does not apply in large urban centers and excludes previously existing locations.
The franchisor retains the right to operate in “Captive Markets” like airports, hospitals, and stadiums within the Protected Area. They may also sell through online or third-party channels, and the Protected Area may be reduced during renewals or transfers.
