Training

Hole in the Wall Franchising offers a structured training program to prepare franchisees for launch and operations:

  1. Initial Training Program: The Principal Executive and one team member must attend pre-opening training, typically held at company headquarters or a designated location. This includes classroom and on-the-job components on brand introduction, marketing, and operations. Attendance is mandatory, and franchisees must complete training at least four weeks prior to opening.
  2. Market Introduction and Onsite Support: The franchisor assists in developing a market introduction plan and provides up to one week of onsite support during the business opening to ensure a smooth launch.
  3. Training Content and Materials: Training covers areas like business planning, lead generation, advertising, staffing, and management. It includes instructional materials such as the Brand Standards Manual and is led by experienced owners.
  4. Post-Opening and Supplemental Training: The franchisor may require post-opening or additional training for executives or employees at its discretion. These may occur in any format or location, with the franchisee covering associated costs.

Territory Protection

Hole in the Wall Franchising provides exclusive territorial rights to its franchisees. Within this territory, the franchisor agrees not to establish company-owned or franchised outlets offering similar goods or services under the Hole in the Wall brand. This exclusivity is guaranteed without any conditions that could cause it to be modified or revoked.

However, Hole in the Wall Franchising reserves certain exceptions. If a franchisee is in default or unable to meet customer demand, the franchisor may authorize others to serve customers in that territory. Additionally, they may use other distribution channels, such as online sales, to offer products—provided these differ from those the franchisee provides and are not sold through a branded outlet in the protected area.
