What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beauty Bungalows's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Beauty Bungalows may raise or lower the Technology Fee upon providing 30 days' written notice to the franchisee. The Technology Fee currently stands at $150 per month. This fee covers the licensing and use of software, communications, or other custom technology for use in the franchisee's Beauty Bungalows business.
Beauty Bungalows retains the right to add or delete services included in the Technology Fee. This means that while the fee might change, so too might the services a franchisee receives for it. It is important for a prospective franchisee to understand what services are currently included and how essential those services are to their business operations.
Franchisors commonly charge technology fees to cover the costs of providing essential technology services and support to franchisees. The amount of notice Beauty Bungalows provides is fairly standard in the franchise industry. Franchisees should inquire about the specific technology services covered by the fee and the potential for future changes to both the fee and the included services.
