What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee chooses cellular wireless service as a secondary access method and opts for non-pooled capacity, they will not be charged overage fees. However, the data transmission speeds may be reduced as defined by the applicable service plan.
For a Bonchon franchisee, this means that while they won't incur extra charges for exceeding data limits with a non-pooled cellular plan, their internet speed could be throttled if they exceed the plan's data allowance. This is an important consideration when selecting a cellular broadband plan, as slower speeds could impact business operations, especially those relying on internet connectivity.
It's also important to note that if the franchisee selects cellular wireless service as a secondary access method with pooled capacity, they will be charged for usage in excess of such pooled capacity at $0.02 per MB. Overage fees will be billed in arrears and may be charged up to twelve (12) months after the overage occurs. Franchisees should carefully evaluate their data needs and choose a plan that aligns with their expected usage to avoid potential speed reductions or overage charges.
