What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, Antioch Pizza Shop requires franchisees to have a specific computer system. This system includes a minimum of two cash registers (or equivalent technology) with an approved Point of Sale (POS) system. This POS system must be able to process, itemize, and track purchases and revenues on a per-transaction, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis, as well as monitor data and expedite customer service.
In addition to the POS system, Antioch Pizza Shop franchisees must have a computer with internet access and use QuickBooks small business financial management software. They are also required to use a kitchen management software system from Jolt Software, Inc., a designated supplier. The cost of purchasing this computer system ranges from $3,000 to $10,000 for Dine-In, Take-Out/Delivery, and Express Restaurants, with ongoing license fees ranging from $400 to $600 per month. For Food Truck/Trailer franchises, the purchase cost is estimated between $1,000 and $2,000, with monthly license fees estimated at $100 to $200 per month.
Antioch Pizza Shop franchisees are also required to use the Antioch Pizza app, which costs $129 per month, plus $.20 per customer transaction and a $.50 fee for customer delivery. This app provides mobile ordering and loyalty/rewards management for customers. The franchisor also has independent access to the information processed and tracked by the POS system and other required software, with franchisees currently required to email monthly profit & loss reports, quarterly balance sheets, and monthly Jolt completion reports. Franchisees may be required to upgrade or replace components of the computer system during the franchise term or upon renewal, and maintenance and repairs may cost approximately $600 to $2,500 annually.
