Training | A twelve-week training program is mandatory at the franchisee's expense. | The training consists of a minimum of 3 months which is all done in an existing store level. A management competency program is strictly adhered to and will be accessed weekly. |
Support | A successful opening is a critical step in the development of a B�ton Rouge Franchise Operation. We assist the
franchisee and his management team with a "hands-on" support team for the first 30 days of operation.
The main function of the franchisor is to assist the franchise system. This means providing ongoing phone calls, restaurant visits and consultations to ensure all B�ton Rouge's systems, specifications, and standards are in place, resulting in consistent operations, above average sales, and excellent profitability. B�ton Rouge offers full support in all areas of accounting, menu development, marketing, financial planning, and system implementation. | - |

Operations | B�ton Rouge insists on having an owner/operator on-site. Ideally, we would prefer a proprietorship, but consideration is given to partnerships. We insist that one of the partners be responsible for the day-to-day on-site operation of the restaurant. | - |
