What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beggars Pizza Franchise Disclosure Document, the definition of "Billing Start Date" can be found in Section 10.a of the agreement. Item 23, Section 16.b defines 'Billing Start Date' as having the meaning given to it in Section 10.a.
Section 10.a clarifies that Subscription Fees begin accruing when the service is first available for users to place orders for the customer's food, or as otherwise agreed upon in writing, including in the Quote. This date is referred to as the "Billing Start Date."
For a prospective Beggars Pizza franchisee, understanding the Billing Start Date is crucial because it marks the point at which they begin incurring subscription fees for the SpeedLine service. This date may not necessarily align with the restaurant's opening date, so franchisees should clarify this with Beggars Pizza and SpeedLine to avoid unexpected charges. The billing interval and any potential pricing changes are typically outlined in the Quote, and franchisees should review these details carefully.
