What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for POS (Point of Sale) computer systems ranges from $12,330 to $25,330. This cost is to cover the purchase of the required POS system, initial setup, and initial weekly payments for required online ordering. These expenses are incurred as agreed upon with designated suppliers.
This investment is a crucial part of setting up the Aw franchise, as the POS system is essential for processing transactions and managing online orders. The estimate provided by Aw is based on the experience of its affiliates. However, prospective franchisees should be aware that this is just an estimate, and the actual costs may vary.
Before making a decision, Aw recommends that potential franchisees carefully review these figures with a business advisor. It is important to consider factors such as the specific POS system chosen, the complexity of the setup, and any ongoing maintenance or support costs. Franchisees should also confirm with Aw which suppliers are designated for the POS systems to ensure they receive accurate quotes and compliant systems.
