What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Care Plus Medical Ucc Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must buy (or lease) and use a point-of-sale (POS) system and computer system that includes the franchisor's currently required POS/CRM system, a credit card processing system, and an accounting platform such as Quickbooks. These systems are required to generate or store data related to inventory/product details, sales transactions, client information, employee data, scheduling, reporting, and accounting.
The estimated cost to purchase these systems ranges from $2,000 to $6,000. Care Plus Medical Ucc does not provide ongoing maintenance, repairs, upgrades, or updates for these systems; franchisees are required to enter into a third-party contract for these services. The estimated annual cost for maintenance, updates, upgrades, or support contracts is between $3,000 and $4,000.
Care Plus Medical Ucc requires franchisees to upgrade or update any system when the franchisor determines it is necessary, and there is no contractual limit on the frequency or cost of this obligation. Furthermore, franchisees must provide Care Plus Medical Ucc with independent access to the information generated or stored within these systems, including sales, customer data, and reports, without any contractual limitations on the franchisor's right to access this information. This level of access and control is typical in franchising, allowing Care Plus Medical Ucc to monitor performance and ensure brand consistency across all locations.
