TRAINING Do I need any qualifications to become a Banjo’s Franchisee? No, but it could be beneficial to have a certificate in retail, management, baking or sales. What training will I get? You will undertake the Banjo’s franchisee training program at which you will learn about all aspects of the business. The next step towards successfully running the business is putting all that you have learned in training into practice. Banjo’s will provide trainers and mentors who have proven experience in the areas they are training in. You will learn about production, rostering, IT, human resources, training, financial management, occupational health and safety, marketing and administration.
How long does training take? How long the training takes will depend on the skills and knowledge you already have. A skilled operator would train in our systems for approx. 12 weeks and an inexperienced operator up to 12 months. Banjo’s want to make your training experience as close to the ‘real thing’ as possible. You will train with franchisees and managers; that means early starts, late finishes and long days – but in the end it is all worth it – just ask any of our existing frachisees. What is the cost of the training? Generally the cost of training will be $10,000 (+gst) but there could be additional costs depending on your level of training needed. Can I continue my current employment situation and train to be a franchisee?
What are the benefits of franchising with Banjo’s?
No. Training is designed to be a mirror of what you can expect in your future operating store. This means a full time commitment – just as if you were running the business yourself.
THE BANJO’S STORE Who leases the property my site will be located on?
This will be determined by Banjo’s on a case by case basis. In some circumstances, Banjo’s will hold the lease directly and grant you a licence to occupy the premises. In other circumstances, you will hold the lease in your name subject to Banjo’s, yourself and the lessor entering into an agreement which has the effect of allowing the lessor to contact Banjo’s and provides rights to re-enter should you in any way breach the lease.
What term is the standard lease? This can depend on the location of the site and the requirements of the landlord.
