Code Wiz provides a comprehensive training framework designed to prepare franchisees and their teams for successful operation.
Initial Training Program: This mandatory program must be completed by the Managing Owner and a designated manager before opening. It typically involves classroom and on-the-job training, either in person at the designated facility or remotely via web-based conferencing. The program covers essential operational procedures and must meet the franchisor’s standards.
Supplemental Training: Franchisees may request additional training, or it may be required by the franchisor if operational standards are not met or when new managers are hired. This training can be conducted at the franchisee’s location or remotely, with fees applied per trainer per day, along with travel and accommodation costs if applicable.
System-Wide and Refresher Training: The franchisor may periodically require franchisees to attend system-wide training courses or seminars to ensure continued compliance and updates with the brand’s evolving standards. These sessions help maintain high-quality service across all franchise locations.
Territory Protection
Code Wiz grants franchisees a defined territory but does not provide full exclusivity. While the franchisor agrees not to open or license another Code Wiz Retail Learning Center within the designated territory during the agreement term, this protection only applies if the franchisee remains in compliance.
Franchisees should expect to compete with other Code Wiz outlets located outside their territory and through various distribution channels. The franchisor retains extensive reserved rights, including the ability to sell products and services online, through retail stores, and other alternative channels within the territory.
This means that although no new physical learning centers will be opened within the territory, other forms of brand presence and competition are permitted. The agreement also clarifies that no compensation is provided to franchisees when the franchisor or its affiliates conduct business within their territory through these alternative methods.
