Franchising is all about brand-names, consistency and quality throughout the franchise system. To insure that each franchised outlet runs in a similar fashion it is necessary to have a comprehensive and strong initial training system.

4.1.5 Initial Training

Franchisor will conduct a comprehensive training program in the management, sales and operation of the Franchised Business. The training program will consist of at least one week of instruction at United States regional locations that Franchisor may select for Franchisee
