Training

Daddy’s Chicken Shack offers a structured training program for franchisees to ensure consistent and effective operations. The program includes both pre-opening and ongoing components tailored for owners, managers, and approved staff. Here are the main training offerings:

1. Initial Training Program
   Before the restaurant opens, the Operating Principal, General Manager, and one other approved employee must complete the franchisor’s initial training. This program spans multiple training categories, including restaurant operations, customer service, marketing, financial management, and emergency procedures, delivered through classroom and on-the-job sessions either virtually or in Castle Rock, Colorado. A $5,000 training fee applies, and all travel, lodging, and personal expenses are covered by the franchisee.
2. Certification and Requirements
   All Principal Trainees must complete local food handling certification before starting the training. Completion of the initial training is mandatory before restaurant operations can begin, and evidence of insurance coverage must be provided in advance.
3. Refresher and Annual Training
   The franchisor may require Principal Trainees to attend up to 20 days of refresher programs annually. These include seminars, additional training events, or mandatory attendance at annual conventions lasting up to three days.

Territory Protection

Daddy’s Chicken Shack grants franchisees the right to operate within a designated area, referred to as the “Designated Area,” but it does not provide exclusive territory protection.

Franchisees may face competition from other Daddy’s Chicken Shack restaurants, whether owned by the franchisor or licensed to other franchisees, and from other distribution channels under different brands.

Although the franchisor agrees not to open or license another Daddy’s Chicken Shack restaurant at a physical premises within the Designated Area during the agreement term, this is conditional upon the franchisee's compliance with the Franchise Agreement.
