The training program offered to Spiffy franchisees encompasses several vital components:
Initial Training Program: Aimed at the Operations Manager and up to two additional individuals chosen by the franchisee and approved by the franchisor, this program covers essential pre-opening and operational procedures. Franchisees bear all associated costs, including travel, accommodation, meals, and wages.
Additional or Supplemental Training: Upon request by the franchisee or at the franchisor’s discretion, further training can be provided. This may include guidance on system-related methods and procedures, such as marketing, advertising, management, and administration. The franchisee is responsible for the expenses incurred during this additional training.
Conferences and Conventions: The franchisor may conduct industry-related conferences and training sessions pertinent to the franchise business's operations. Attendance at these events might be required, with franchisees typically covering the costs involved.
Ongoing Support and Evaluation: The franchisor ensures continuous support through regular supervision, inspections, and evaluations of the franchisee’s operations. This includes sharing updates on new developments, techniques, and improvements in management, employee training, marketing, sales, and customer service.
Spiffy ensures territory protection for its franchisees. Each franchisee is granted a defined territory where the franchisor commits not to operate or license another Spiffy-branded business, with certain exceptions such as National Accounts programs.
The territory's size is generally based on population or a specific geographic radius. Franchisees must obtain the franchisor's permission to operate outside their designated territory, thereby maintaining exclusivity within their assigned area.
