The estimate in the table covers the purchase of the Computer and Point of Sale System and Other Technology, including the costs of one LED television screen that you are required to purchase and mount on the wall in your Restaurant to be used with the Loop Media System for entertainment purposes for your customers and any other items in the technology package listed as optional that you elect to include (such as, QSR KDS, security camaras, outdoor music or video, additional speakers and audio above the minimum recommendation) for your Restaurant.
You may (but are not required) to purchase additional LED television screens.
The estimated cost of your Computer and Point of Sale System and Other Technology may increase if you elect to purchase additional LED television screens beyond the one LED television screen
required. The difference between the high and the low estimate reflects instances when additional point of sale devices or thermal printers are necessary for the configuration of the order counter and the kitchen and if digital menu boards are needed for your restaurant. If you are operating a Remote Kitchen Restaurant, your lease may require that you use a computer or point of sale system other than the point of sale system we require, in which case you must take whatever steps we require to properly report your Restaurant's sales transactions. The costs associated with using any unapproved computer or point of sale system in connection with the operation of your Restaurant may vary drastically. This range will fluctuate based on whether you choose to lease or purchase your point of sale system. If you elect to lease, the upfront cost will be less, but the monthly cost will be increased. If you choose to purchase the point of sale hardware upfront, the upfront cost will be more, but the monthly cost will be decreased. Without knowing what computer or point of sale system that your lease may require you to use or purchase, it is difficult to estimate the cost of such computer or point of sale system. As such, the costs associated with using a computer or point of sale system required by your lease are not included in the estimated range. See Item 11.
