Training:Two-day comprehensive training in Pittsburgh, PA. Training includes classroom-style training on Marketing, POS, and Operations and hands-on training in the van or at an event. Additional virtual training hours are included over the first 60 days of business.
In a typical day, franchisees may spend time going through their contacts and securing events, catering or wholesale accounts. They will drop off catering orders, restock their wholesale account freezers or go to an event. Most events are only a couple hours long so they may do multiple events in a day, especially on the weekends. Other days they may be receiving their pop order, counting inventory and planning their week.
