What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to have a dedicated broadband internet connection for their restaurant. This connection is essential for the operation of the point-of-sale (POS) system and other required software and applications.
The POS system is a critical component, as it provides Beyond Juicery Eatery with independent access to the franchisee's financial information. Franchisees must also purchase and install a POS polling application, which allows Beyond Juicery Eatery to access daily sales and labor data. The computer system in the restaurant generates reports on sales and expenses.
Beyond Juicery Eatery also specifies other technology requirements, including POS terminals, kiosks, kitchen display screens, printers, a desktop computer with specific capabilities, and an email account for the Franchisee Designate. Franchisees are responsible for the acquisition, operation, maintenance, and upgrading of the computer system and related technology. While a maintenance, repair, and update service contract for the computer system is not currently required, Beyond Juicery Eatery reserves the right to mandate it in the future, estimating the annual cost to be approximately $1,500.
