According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial investment for a POS (Point of Sale) computer system is between $12,330 and $25,330. This estimate covers the purchase of the required point of sale computer system and the initial set up and initial weekly payments for required online ordering. These systems must be purchased from designated suppliers.
The cost is part of the total estimated initial investment, which ranges from $213,730 to $464,080. The actual amount you pay may be higher or lower, depending on various factors. Aw does not offer financing for any part of the initial investment.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review these figures with a business advisor before making a decision. It would be prudent to ask Aw for a detailed breakdown of the POS system costs, including hardware, software, installation, and ongoing maintenance fees. Understanding the specific features and capabilities of the required POS system is also essential to assess its value and suitability for your business needs.
