What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Auntie Annes's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there is currently no charge for the Back Office and Polling Software Fee. However, this is subject to change.
The FDD states that while not currently charged, the fee is estimated to be between $100 and $200 per month if implemented in the future. This fee would cover the cost of the back office and polling software used with the Auntie Annes computer system.
Auntie Annes may require franchisees to remit this fee to them, their affiliate, or a third-party vendor that provides the software. This means that franchisees should be prepared to potentially pay this fee in the future, and factor it into their financial planning. It is important to note that the fee amount is an estimate and could vary if implemented.
