What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Product Inspection and Testing fee is due 'When billed.' This fee is incurred if a franchisee asks Beggars Pizza to evaluate or approve a proposed supplier. The cost of this inspection or testing is estimated to be between $500 and $2,000.
This means that a Beggars Pizza franchisee will only be charged this fee if they deviate from the approved supplier list and seek approval for a new supplier. The actual amount will depend on the cost of the inspection or testing required to evaluate the proposed supplier.
Franchisees should be aware of Beggars Pizza's supplier restrictions, as detailed in Item 8 of the FDD, to understand when this fee might apply. Budgeting between $500 and $2,000 for this potential fee is advisable if a franchisee anticipates needing to request supplier approval.
