Training

The Salt Suite provides a structured training program to ensure franchisees are fully prepared to operate their businesses. Here’s how the training is organized:

  1. Initial Online Training: Franchisees must first complete approximately three days of online training focused on learning about various conditions treated at The Salt Suite and mastering the use of software systems, including scheduling and customer management tools.
  2. Classroom and On-the-Job Training: Franchisees and their key personnel then participate in four days of in-person training at The Salt Suite’s designated training center. This phase covers operational procedures, marketing strategies, customer service protocols, office management, and sales associate training.
  3. Pre-Opening and Opening Assistance: Around the time of the Franchised Business opening, a corporate staff member travels to the franchisee’s location for about two days. This on-site training provides hands-on support for pre-opening preparations and helps familiarize the local staff with the operational standards and customer experience expectations.

Territory Protection

The Salt Suite provides its franchisees with an exclusive territory for operating their franchised businesses. Once a franchisee signs a lease for an approved site, they are granted an Exclusive Territory where The Salt Suite agrees not to establish another company-owned or franchised location selling similar goods or services under the same or similar trademarks.

The Exclusive Territory is typically based on a radius that includes a population of approximately 100,000 people, although the exact size may vary depending on market conditions.

While The Salt Suite offers strong territorial protection, there are notable limitations to this exclusivity. The franchisor reserves the right to sell products and services within a franchisee’s Exclusive Territory through alternative channels such as the internet or other marketing platforms.
