What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may currently purchase Information Systems from any supplier, provided the systems meet Angry Chickz's standards. These systems, which include hardware, software, and other electronic devices, are essential for operating the restaurant. The estimated initial cost for purchasing and installing these systems ranges from $20,000 to $30,000. Franchisees are also required to obtain high-speed communications access for their information systems.
Angry Chickz does not provide ongoing maintenance, repairs, upgrades, or updates to the system. Franchisees are responsible for obtaining support and maintenance contracts from third parties to maintain their computer systems. They are also responsible for all updates and upgrades to the Information Systems.
Angry Chickz retains the right to mandate updates, upgrades, and component replacements to the Information Systems. While the brand can't reasonably estimate future costs for these changes, franchisees must cover the expenses for implementing hardware, software, and support services as prescribed by Angry Chickz. The Information System may be provided directly by third parties or may be sold, licensed or sublicensed by or through Angry Chickz at a onetime or recurring charge.
It is important for prospective Angry Chickz franchisees to factor in these potentially ongoing and unpredictable costs when evaluating the overall investment required to start and maintain the franchise. Franchisees should inquire about the typical lifespan of the initial Information Systems, the frequency and cost of required updates, and a list of approved vendors to better estimate these expenses.
