What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Antioch Pizza Shop requires franchisees to purchase or lease specific computer systems, including a Point of Sale (POS) system, a computer with internet access, QuickBooks small business financial management software, and kitchen management software. The cost for these systems ranges from $3,000 to $10,000 for Dine-In, Take-Out/Delivery, and Express Restaurants, and $1,000 to $2,000 for Food Truck/Trailer franchises. Additionally, franchisees will incur ongoing license fees ranging from $400 to $600 per month for the former and $100 to $200 per month for the latter.
The FDD states that Antioch Pizza Shop will have independent access to the information processed and tracked by the POS system and other required software. Franchisees must email monthly profit & loss reports, quarterly balance sheets, and monthly Jolt completion reports to Antioch Pizza Shop. While the document outlines the computer systems and reporting requirements, it does not explicitly detail whether Antioch Pizza Shop provides on-the-job training related to financial management or using these specific software systems.
Therefore, prospective franchisees should inquire with Antioch Pizza Shop about the availability and nature of any financial training or support offered, specifically regarding the use of QuickBooks and the POS system for financial reporting and management. Understanding the level of support provided in these areas is crucial for effectively managing the financial aspects of the franchise.
