What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Beggars Pizza requires a franchisee to purchase equipment and software that meets specific standards from an approved supplier, the franchisee is responsible for ensuring that the equipment and software meet those standards. Specifically, if SpeedLine is the approved supplier, the franchisee must ensure SpeedLine is approved as a supplier for the equipment and software outlined in the quote.
The franchisee is also responsible for meeting SpeedLine's implementation criteria for site preparation, facilities, and specifications as detailed in the SpeedLine Solutions System Implementation Requirements, which are provided to the franchisee. These criteria must be met before the equipment and software are implemented and maintained thereafter.
Furthermore, the franchisee acknowledges that they must pay the total amount owed as described in the quote in full before SpeedLine provides the access code to activate the software. This means the franchisee cannot begin using the software until all payments are settled with SpeedLine. The FDD also states that all overdue payments by the customer shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate of interest permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the due date until paid in.
