Beggars_Pizza Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The billing interval is indicated in the Quote. The Subscription Fees will be invoiced for each billing interval up to ten (10) days before the first day of that billing interval, in advance for that entire interval (except as otherwise agreed in writing for certain items), and are due upon receipt by Customer of SpeedLine's invoice (unless otherwise agreed to). If the Billing Start Date is the first day of a calendar month, then the regular, full billing intervals will start on that date. If not, then the regular, full billing intervals will start on the first day of the first full calendar month after the Billing Start Date and the Subscription Fees for the partial month starting on such Billing Start Date will be prorated and invoiced on or before the Billing Start Date.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beggars Pizza Franchise Disclosure Document, the subscription fees will be invoiced for each billing interval up to ten days before the first day of that billing interval. This invoice is in advance for the entire interval. The fees are due upon receipt of the invoice unless otherwise agreed to.
For a prospective Beggars Pizza franchisee, this means that you will receive an invoice for subscription fees in advance of the service period. The exact billing interval will be specified in the Quote, which is a document outlining specific terms and conditions. It is important to note that the billing start date is when the service is first available for use, allowing users to place orders for the customer's food, or as otherwise agreed upon in writing.
If the billing start date falls on the first day of a calendar month, the regular billing intervals will align with the calendar month. However, if the billing start date is not on the first day of the month, the initial subscription fees will be prorated for the partial month and invoiced on or before the billing start date. Regular, full billing intervals will then commence on the first day of the subsequent full calendar month.
It's important for a potential Beggars Pizza franchisee to carefully review the Quote and any written agreements to understand the specific billing interval, the exact timing of invoices, and the due dates for subscription fee payments. Franchisees should also be aware of potential pricing changes, as outlined in Section 11 of the agreement, which could affect the amount of subscription fees over time.
