Training

Southern Steer provides several structured training programs to ensure franchisees operate according to its standards. These programs include:

  1. Initial Training Program
    Conducted before the franchise’s opening, this mandatory program educates the Franchisee, Operating Principal, and Designated Manager on the Southern Steer system and business operations. It is typically held over two weeks and includes both in-person and home-study components.
  2. Additional Training
    If a Southern Steer location does not meet required performance standards, the Franchisor may mandate additional training. This program is also available upon request by the Franchisee, but all associated fees and travel expenses must be covered by the Franchisee.
  3. Certified Training Program
    Franchisees may implement their own employee training programs, but they must be certified by the Franchisor to ensure compliance with brand standards. Re-certification is also required periodically.

Territory Protection

Southern Steer grants franchisees a “Protected Area” where the Franchisor generally agrees not to license or operate another Southern Steer business. However, this protection is nonexclusive and depends on the franchisee remaining in compliance with the agreement.

Despite the Protected Area, the Franchisor reserves the right to operate in Non-Traditional Locations and to sell products under the brand through other channels. Franchisees may also face competition from other franchisees or company-owned outlets within or near their territory.
