Each location is designed to be a family-friendly environment that fosters enjoyment for everyone. As such, the ideal Ctrl V franchise owner is “fun, hard-working” and is fully focused on the customer experience. Interested candidates are not required to have previous industry experience as Ctrl V provides ample training to get new owners up and running. New operators are expected to participate in a two-week training program at the flagship location in Waterloo, where they will learn everything from software, hardware, gaming, marketing, franchise operations, accounting, customer service and floor operations.<figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FufS2eGPWo"><div class="iframely-embed"><div class="iframely-responsive"><iframe src="//cdn.iframe.ly/api/iframe?app=1&amp;api_key=fd3b6b3731f34f55ba1fe3&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D3FufS2eGPWo" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></div></figure><h2>How Much Can Ctrl V Franchise Owners Make?</h2>Ctrl V does not have a publicly available Item 19.
