Training

Restoration 1 provides a multi-tiered training structure for its franchisees, ensuring thorough preparation and ongoing skill development. The training offerings are as follows:

1. Initial Training Program
   Restoration 1 offers a comprehensive training program for new franchisees, including up to three Key Personnel such as the Designated Owner or Manager. This program covers the material aspects of running the business and must be completed to the franchisor’s satisfaction before operations can begin. The training is typically conducted in Dallas, Texas, or another designated location, and may also be offered virtually.
2. Training for New Designated Personnel
   If a franchisee appoints a new Designated Manager or there is a change in the Designated Owner, the new individual must complete the current training program before they can assume operational responsibilities. This ensures consistency and adherence to company standards.
3. Ongoing and Additional Training
   Restoration 1 may require franchisees and their staff to attend ongoing education sessions, which may include trade shows, webinars, or training courses. These programs help maintain compliance with operational standards and provide updates on new business practices or technologies.
4. Personnel Training Oversight
   Franchisees are responsible for training all employees and must use a curriculum that aligns with the franchisor’s standards. The franchisor may require disclosure of training materials and set guidelines for third-party certification or technical training as necessary.
5. Supplementary Training Sessions
   Upon request and depending on availability, Restoration 1 can provide additional training for franchisees or their teams. Such training is subject to scheduling and may incur fees based on the current rate set by the franchisor.

Territory Protection

Restoration 1 assigns each franchisee a Market Territory, defined geographically and typically by ZIP codes or other clear boundaries. However, this territory is not exclusive.

Franchisees are restricted from marketing or soliciting business outside their assigned Market Territory without prior approval, but this restriction does not prevent the franchisor from engaging in business within the same area.

The franchise agreement explicitly states that franchisees have no territorial protections. Restoration 1 and its affiliates retain the right to operate, grant other franchises, and market or perform services in any area, including within a franchisee’s Market Territory.
