That’s why we’ve done our best to simplify the process with a proven support system to help you avoid the pitfalls you might incur working independently.

- Franchise Training: Before the opening of your store, you will be required to attend and complete Woody’s BarB-Q intensive 6-week franchise training program. Representing more support than the industry standard, this program is designed to educate you in all aspects of restaurant operations and provide you with invaluable, proprietary tools to achieve success. Whether our franchise owners have previous training in restaurants, business, or both, they will receive exclusive hands-on training specific to understanding and fully utilizing our culture, business systems, and curriculum.
