SUPPORT & TRAINING PROVIDED
Training and support program details:

Rivali's training protocol is designed to take a franchisee from zero to operational mastery and then keep them sharp for the life of the franchise. Training begins with an intensive initial phase at our established Torrance, CA flagship—approximately 48 hours of hands-on, on-site instruction running alongside 44 hours of structured classroom learning, supplemented by up to 44 hours of virtual coursework. Once a location is operational, support transitions into the franchisee's own facility. Throughout the first 12 months, on-site and classroom training are provided as needed, anchored by consistent virtual training of roughly 1.5 to 6 hours per week—the equivalent of 15 minutes to an hour each day—to reinforce standards during the critical ramp-up period. After the first year, on-site and classroom support remain available as needed, while virtual training settles into a sustaining cadence of about half an hour to two hours per week. These hours are estimates; actual needs vary by individual, and because we check in with our franchisees as frequently as possible, ongoing training often exceeds these baselines rather than falling short. Onsite training at a franchisee's location is always available when needed—a reflection of the same commitment that led our CEO to personally spend six months at our Marina Del Rey, CA location building the ideal Rivali operating environment.
