Training 

Nékter Juice Bar offers a comprehensive initial training program for franchisees and their management team.

Training Program: The mandatory initial training program at Nékter Juice Bar is designed for up to three participants, including the Designated Principal and, if applicable, the district manager and general manager. The Designated Principal must attend and successfully complete this training.

Training Content: The program encompasses a range of crucial topics such as operations, guest service, product knowledge, management, marketing, facilities, IT, supply chain, and financial aspects.

Duration and Location: Spanning three weeks, the initial training consists of 111 hours, with approximately three days dedicated to classroom instruction and the remainder to on-site store training.

Expenses: The cost of the initial training is included in the initial franchise fee, but franchisees are responsible for all additional expenses related to the training.

Territory Protection

Franchisees do not receive an exclusive territory, which means they may encounter competition from other franchisees, franchisor-owned outlets, or other distribution channels and competitive brands managed by the franchisor.

However, once the Store location is established, the franchisor and franchisee will mutually agree on a "Designated Area," defined by identifiable boundaries such as ZIP Codes, streets, county lines, rivers, etc.

Although there is no exclusive territory during the franchise term, the franchisor generally will not operate, or allow others to operate, a Store under the NEKTER JUICE BAR trademark within the franchisee's Designated Area, provided the franchisee adheres to their agreement.
