Any good franchisor will insist on training their franchisees prior to them opening. They will want to teach the franchisees any tools of the trade that they know to make their business successful because a successful franchisee means a successful franchisor. All franchisors will have different training programs, many use officers of some kind, some will use hands-on experience under other franchisees, and some will use a combination of the two (among other methods).<\/span><\/p>\n

You might find the idea of the \u2018right\u2019 and \u2018wrong\u2019 way to train a little funny, but there is such a thing. Online training<\/a> is hardly sufficient in most cases. If you\u2019ve ever worked a job where they sat you down for online training and then went to do the job after, you realized that you learned nothing about your actual duties or how your days work. There\u2019s also almost never people available if a new employee has questions during an online training session. When you\u2019re training and onboarding your staff, try to avoid making it all online or computer-based training as that is probably the worst kind of training someone can get.<\/span><\/p>\n
