What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the NBDS management systems can be modified at any time in response to business, operations, and marketing conditions. Anago subfranchisees are required to use Anago's computerized NBDS management systems. Subfranchisees must also enter into any licenses, terms of use, and maintenance agreements and pay any license and maintenance fees that Anago may require.
Anago requires subfranchisees to replace these systems when Anago deems it advisable, considering factors such as the age and condition of the system, the current and anticipated technology, the information in use with other subfranchisees, the needs of the system, and any other relevant factors.
This means that as an Anago subfranchisee, you must be prepared to adapt to changes in the NBDS system and potentially incur costs for upgrades or replacements as directed by Anago. It is important to factor in these potential future expenses when evaluating the overall investment and operational costs of the franchise.
