What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cost for the SpeedLine software license is not a fixed amount but is instead determined by a quote. The franchisee ("Customer") agrees to pay the amount set forth in the SpeedLine quote for the software license. The specific amount will be detailed in the SpeedLine quote attached as Schedule "A".
The FDD specifies different payment options, including fixed prepaid license terms and subscription license terms, with fees adjusted by SpeedLine. The customer may receive a license for installed software products for a fixed prepaid license term by fully paying for the license. Alternatively, the customer may opt for a subscription license term by paying monthly recurring subscription fees, which may be adjusted by SpeedLine over time.
Several factors could influence the final cost, such as the specific software modules licensed, the chosen support service plan (Standard Support, Second-Level Support, or Per Incident Support), and any additional services selected. The customer is also responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, and other governmental fees associated with the software license. To get an accurate estimate of the SpeedLine software license costs, a prospective Beggars Pizza franchisee should carefully review the SpeedLine quote (Schedule A) and discuss any potential additional costs with the franchisor.
