How must other amounts owed to Aw or its affiliates be paid?

According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay the royalty fee, advertising contribution, and any other amounts owed to Aw or its affiliates via electronic transfer of funds. This requirement ensures that Aw receives payments promptly and securely.

Electronic fund transfers are a common method for handling financial transactions between franchisors and franchisees. This payment method reduces the risk of lost or delayed payments, and it provides a clear record of all transactions. Franchisees should ensure they have the necessary banking arrangements in place to comply with this requirement.

While the FDD specifies the method of payment, it does not detail the specific types of 'other amounts' that a franchisee might owe. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand what these other potential fees could be and to factor them into their financial planning. Reviewing Item 6 of the FDD, which outlines various fees, can provide further clarity on potential financial obligations to Aw.
