What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the subfranchisor is responsible for obtaining the necessary computer hardware, workstations, and mobile devices to operate the software. Anago periodically specifies these hardware requirements in the Anago Manuals, the Subfranchise Agreement, or other written communication.
This means that Anago does not provide the subfranchisor with hardware, but the subfranchisor must acquire the hardware that Anago specifies. The subfranchisor is also responsible for the configuration, setup, and network wiring of these devices.
This requirement ensures that the subfranchisor has the appropriate technology to utilize Anago's software effectively. However, it also places the burden and cost of acquiring and maintaining this technology on the subfranchisor. A prospective subfranchisor should carefully consider these costs when evaluating the Anago franchise opportunity.
