Poke Bowl United offers a comprehensive training structure for its franchisees to ensure operational consistency and brand standards. The training includes several distinct programs:
Initial Management Training Program: This is mandatory for the franchisee, all principals, and the general manager. It must be completed to the Franchisor’s satisfaction before opening and includes classroom and on-the-job training, conducted at the Franchisor’s headquarters or a designated location. There is no charge for up to three trainees, but all travel-related expenses are the franchisee's responsibility.
Opening Assistance Program: A trained representative provides on-site support for at least seven days during the opening phase of the business. This service is included at no additional charge and focuses on real-time operational support and implementation.
Ongoing and Additional Training: Franchisees may be required to attend up to five days of additional training annually, as well as participate in an annual business meeting or convention. These sessions are held at designated locations and may incur tuition and travel-related costs.
Territory Protection
Poke Bowl United grants franchisees a designated territory for operating their business, as defined in the franchise agreement. Within this territory, the franchisor agrees not to establish or authorize another Poke Bowl United outlet using the same trademarks, provided the franchisee remains in good standing.
The specific area of the territory is determined based on various demographic and geographic factors and is identified in the franchise documentation. However, this territorial protection comes with significant limitations.
The franchisor retains the right to operate or license sales through alternative channels such as grocery stores, co-branded locations, ghost kitchens, and internet-based platforms—even within the franchisee’s territory.
