What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beauty Bungalows's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Beauty Bungalows may raise or lower the Technology Fee upon 30 days' written notice to the franchisee. The Technology Fee is currently $150 per month. This fee covers the licensing and use of software, communications, or other custom technology for use in the franchisee's business.
Beauty Bungalows retains the right to modify the services included in the Technology Fee. This means that the franchisor can add or remove services covered by the fee, in addition to changing the fee amount itself.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates that the monthly Technology Fee is not fixed. It can fluctuate, impacting the franchisee's operating costs. It is important to note that while Beauty Bungalows must provide 30 days' written notice before changing the fee, the franchisee has limited recourse to prevent such changes.
