What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several dependencies exist for a customer to use the on-premises implemented software. The customer must meet SpeedLine's implementation criteria for site preparation, facilities, and specifications as outlined in the SpeedLine Solutions System Implementation Requirements, and maintain these criteria. This indicates that the franchisee needs to ensure their physical location and technical setup align with SpeedLine's standards before and after software implementation.
If Beggars Pizza's licensor requires equipment and software from an approved supplier that meets specific standards, the customer is responsible for ensuring the equipment and software described in the Quote meet those standards and for having SpeedLine approved as a supplier. The customer must pay the total amount described in the Quote in full before SpeedLine provides the access code to activate the software. This highlights the importance of financial readiness and adherence to approved supplier requirements.
The on-premises software can only be used at the location specified in the Quote and on the number of terminals corresponding to the number of SpeedLine Solutions software user licenses received. Any changes to the location or the number of terminals require prior written consent from SpeedLine. This limits the flexibility of software use and necessitates franchisor approval for any modifications to the setup. SpeedLine also requires implementation and training to be carried out by specially trained technicians. If the customer performs their own implementation and training, their personnel must first complete SpeedLine's training to SpeedLine's satisfaction. This ensures that the software is correctly implemented and that the staff is adequately trained.
