Slice House Franchising, LLC provides a structured set of training and support programs to its franchisees to ensure consistent operations and brand quality. Here are the key training programs offered:
Initial Training Program The franchisor offers an Initial Training program, which is mandatory and provided at no charge for the franchisee and three additional attendees. It covers all necessary operational procedures and must be completed before opening.
On-Site Opening Assistance The franchisor provides up to five days of on-site assistance to guide franchisees through the opening of their Slice House location. Additional training, if requested or deemed necessary, is available for a fee.
Confidential Manual Access Franchisees receive a comprehensive Confidential Manual of approximately 345 pages. This manual includes operational, procedural, and management guidance essential for running the restaurant.
Refresher Courses and Annual Meetings Franchisees, General Managers, or designated staff may be required to attend refresher courses, additional training sessions, business meetings, or annual conventions as scheduled by the franchisor.
Territory Protection
Slice House Franchising, LLC does not grant exclusive territories to its franchisees. Each franchisee operates at a single approved location, and while they may receive a defined "Site Selection Territory" to secure their location, this does not prevent other franchisees or company-owned units from operating nearby.
Franchisees may face direct competition from other franchisees, company outlets, or affiliated brands within or outside their area. The Site Selection Territory is determined solely by the franchisor based on demographics, market conditions, and other geographic factors.
There is no guaranteed minimum population or area size, and zip codes or city blocks typically define the boundaries. This setup gives Slice House flexibility to expand and operate without restriction, even within the same general region as an existing franchisee.
