Tahini’s Mediterranean Cuisine provides an extensive training program to ensure franchisees and their staff are fully prepared to operate the business. The training includes the following components:
Initial Training Program
Tahini’s requires the Designated Operator to complete a 5-week initial training program. The first 3 weeks are conducted at the company’s headquarters or a designated location in London, Ontario, while the final 2 weeks take place at the franchisee’s own location around the opening date. During this time, 1 or 2 trainers are sent to assist on-site, with costs covered by the initial franchise fee.
Supplemental and Ongoing Training
All key staff and management are required to participate in continuing education and training programs as directed by the franchisor. Additional training is mandatory for new product launches or changes in operating procedures, and a fee between $1,000 to $3,000 per week may apply. Franchisees must also attend mandatory seminars and conferences organized by the franchisor.
Employee and Replacement Training
If new Designated Operators or employees need training, the franchisee must pay a training fee—$5,000 for replacement Designated Operators or an hourly rate for other staff. These sessions are conducted at a location chosen by the franchisor, and all related expenses are the franchisee’s responsibility. Trainees are not compensated by the franchisor for attending.
Tahini’s Mediterranean Cuisine offers limited territory protection under its Area Development Agreement. Franchisees are assigned a Development Territory, typically described by geographic boundaries like cities or counties, where the franchisor will not operate or license another business using the Tahini’s brand—provided the franchisee is in full compliance.
This exclusivity, however, does not guarantee the number of available sites or prevent competition from other brands the franchisor may own or develop. Importantly, Tahini’s retains broad rights to operate or authorize others to operate businesses under different trademarks or systems, even within the Development Territory.
The franchisor may also distribute products through alternative channels without compensating franchisees. Franchisees are warned explicitly that they may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other distribution methods within or near their area.
