What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimate for the POS computer system includes the purchase of the required point of sale computer system, the initial set up, and initial weekly payments for required online ordering. The estimated initial investment for the POS computer system ranges from $12,330 to $25,330. This cost is payable as incurred to designated suppliers, as agreed.
For a prospective Aw franchisee, this means they should budget between $12,330 and $25,330 for the POS system. This is a crucial component for managing sales, orders, and potentially online ordering, so understanding the full scope of what's included is important. The franchisee will need to pay these costs as they are incurred to designated suppliers, meaning they should coordinate with Aw to understand the payment schedule and approved vendors.
It is important to note that the estimate covers the initial setup and weekly payments for online ordering, suggesting ongoing costs associated with the POS system beyond the initial purchase. A potential franchisee should clarify with Aw what the ongoing weekly payments are estimated to be and what services they cover to fully understand the long-term costs associated with the POS system.
