Where is Square, Inc., the designated point of sale system supplier for Baya Bar, located?

As a Baya Bar franchisee, you are required to use Square POS for your point of sale system. This means you must purchase or lease the system from Square, Inc. and adhere to their terms of service. It is important for prospective franchisees to review Square's terms and conditions, as well as any associated costs, to ensure they align with their business needs and budget.

The FDD specifies that franchisees must acquire equipment, including the point of sale system, from approved suppliers. This requirement ensures consistency and quality across all Baya Bar locations. While franchisees are generally restricted to using designated suppliers, there is a process for requesting approval of alternative products or suppliers, although Baya Bar is not obligated to approve them. This process involves submitting a written request and potentially covering the costs of testing and inspection.

It is also worth noting that Baya Bar retains the right to collect and retain any allowances, rebates, credits, incentives, or benefits offered by suppliers based on franchisee purchases. This practice is not uncommon in franchising, as it allows the franchisor to potentially benefit from the collective purchasing power of the franchise system. Franchisees should be aware of this arrangement and factor it into their financial planning.
