What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for the POS computer system ranges from $12,330 to $25,330. This estimate covers the purchase of the required point of sale computer system and the initial setup, as well as initial weekly payments for required online ordering.
For a prospective Aw franchisee, this means budgeting for the costs associated with implementing and maintaining the technology necessary for processing sales and managing online orders. The range in cost suggests that there may be different POS system options available, or that the cost may vary depending on the specific needs and configuration of the franchise location. It is important to note that this is just an estimate, and the actual cost may be higher or lower.
Franchisees should clarify with Aw what specific POS system is required, what features are included, and what ongoing costs (such as software updates, maintenance, and support) are associated with the system. Understanding these details will help franchisees accurately budget for this expense and avoid any unexpected costs. Additionally, franchisees should inquire about any approved or designated suppliers for the POS system, as they may be required to purchase the system from a specific vendor.
