What is the Angry Chickz franchisee's obligation to assist in bringing the Information Systems online?

According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must provide all assistance that Angry Chickz requires to bring the Information Systems online with Angry Chickz's or its designee's computer at the earliest possible time. Franchisees are also obligated to maintain this connection as Angry Chickz requires. This means the franchisee must actively cooperate with Angry Chickz to ensure the Information Systems are properly connected and functioning with the franchisor's systems.

This requirement ensures that Angry Chickz has access to critical data from the franchisee's restaurant, including customer information, sales data, inventory, and accounting information. Angry Chickz can retrieve any information from the franchisee's Information Systems that it deems necessary or appropriate, and there are no contractual limitations on Angry Chickz's right to access this information. This level of access allows Angry Chickz to monitor the franchisee's performance, identify trends, and provide support as needed.

For a prospective Angry Chickz franchisee, this obligation means allocating resources and time to ensure the Information Systems are compatible and properly connected with Angry Chickz's systems. Franchisees should be prepared to work closely with Angry Chickz or its designee during the initial setup and ongoing maintenance of the Information Systems. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in a breach of the franchise agreement and potential penalties. Franchisees should also factor in the costs associated with maintaining this connection, including high-speed internet access and any required hardware or software upgrades.
