What is the deadline for a 7 Brew franchisee to obtain designated Computer System components after receiving notice from the franchisor?

The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document does not specify a particular deadline for a 7 Brew franchisee to obtain designated Computer System components after receiving notice from the franchisor. However, it does state that 7 Brew may periodically modify the Computer System's specifications and components, potentially requiring franchisees to purchase, lease, or license new or modified computer components, software, and peripherals and to obtain service and support for the Computer System.

As the FDD does not state a specific deadline, it is important for prospective franchisees to discuss the typical timeframes and costs associated with these upgrades with 7 Brew. Understanding the frequency and financial impact of these technology updates is crucial for budgeting and operational planning.

To gain clarity, a prospective 7 Brew franchisee should ask the franchisor about the typical lead times for implementing such changes, any available financing options or support programs to offset the costs, and the consequences of not meeting the required upgrades in a timely manner. This information will help the franchisee to be prepared for future technology-related expenses and ensure compliance with 7 Brew's standards.
