What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Burros Fries's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the POS support fee covers only one cash register. The fee, which ranges from $130 to $140 per month, is specifically for one cash register, software, and ongoing support. This fee is payable to Burros Fries's approved vendors.
This means that if a franchisee operates a Burros Fries location with multiple cash registers, they will incur a separate POS support fee for each register. This can significantly increase the monthly operating expenses, especially for larger locations that require multiple registers to handle customer volume efficiently.
Prospective franchisees should consider the number of cash registers they anticipate needing to operate their Burros Fries location effectively and factor in the corresponding POS support fees for each register when evaluating the financial viability of the franchise. It's also important to note that the franchisee is responsible for the installation and upgrades to the POS system, networking, and software.
