Training

Paulie Gee's provides a comprehensive set of training programs that the Franchisor provides or may require for Franchisees. These include both mandatory and ongoing training initiatives:

1. Initial Training Program
   Within four months of the business commencement date, the Franchisee’s Managing Owner and one manager must complete the initial training program. This program may include both classroom and on-the-job instruction, and it can be conducted either in person or through online web-based conferencing. Additional trainees may be allowed with prior approval and payment of additional fees.
2. Refresher and System-Wide Training
   Franchisees, including their Managing Owners and Managers, must attend periodic refresher courses and system-wide training programs as designated by the Franchisor. These may be held at designated locations and are provided at the Franchisee’s expense, including travel, lodging, and salaries.
3. Supplemental Training
   The Franchisor may offer supplemental training either at the Franchisee’s restaurant or online. This is often required when hiring a new Operating Manager or when the Franchisee is not meeting operational standards. The cost is $300 per trainer per day, plus travel and accommodation expenses.

Territory Protection

Paulie Gee's provides franchisees with a "Protected Territory" after site approval, within which no other franchise or company-owned location will be established, as long as the franchisee complies with the agreement. However, this territory is not exclusive, and the franchisee may face competition from other Paulie Gee’s channels.

Franchisees cannot accept orders outside their territory without written approval, but the franchisor may still sell within the area through other means. No rights to expand or exclusive marketing privileges are granted.
