Where is User Data stored for Beggars Pizza when using the SpeedLine POS Solution?

According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when using the SpeedLine POS Solution, User Data is stored on the franchisee's servers. Specifically, the data resides where the SpeedLine POS Solution is installed. This means Beggars Pizza franchisees are responsible for maintaining their own servers and ensuring the security and integrity of the User Data stored on them.

Beggars Pizza franchisees must also handle backups of this data, as SpeedLine assumes no obligation to store or retain any User Data on behalf of the franchisee. This places the onus on the franchisee to implement robust backup systems to prevent data loss. The FDD also states that SpeedLine may make and use copies of User Data in connection with making the functionality of the Service available to Customer.

Furthermore, Beggars Pizza franchisees should be aware that SpeedLine has no obligation to retain User Data upon termination or expiration of the agreement. Unless legally prohibited, SpeedLine may delete any User Data in its possession at any time after 30 days following the termination or expiration of the agreement. Therefore, franchisees need to ensure they have extracted and secured all necessary data before the agreement ends.

This arrangement is fairly typical in the franchise industry, where franchisees often manage day-to-day operations and customer data locally, while the franchisor provides the software and support. However, it's crucial for prospective Beggars Pizza franchisees to fully understand their responsibilities regarding data storage, security, and backup to avoid potential issues.
