What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Burros Fries's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must use specific point of sale (POS) software. The POS support fee, which covers software usage and ongoing support, currently ranges from $130 to $140 per month for one cash register.
This fee is payable to Burros Fries's approved vendor, not directly to the franchisor. Franchisees are responsible for the installation and upgrades of the POS system, networking, and software. It is important to note that Burros Fries retains the right to change the technology requirements with a 90-day written notice, and franchisees will be responsible for adhering to these changes at their own expense.
Technology fees are non-refundable and are uniformly imposed and collected by Burros Fries, its affiliates, or approved vendors. This means that all franchisees pay the same POS support fee, and no refunds are provided under any circumstances. Prospective franchisees should factor this monthly cost into their operating budget and be prepared for potential technology upgrades or changes during the franchise term.
