What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Casiola's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay a monthly fee for the phone system. Currently, this fee is $30 per month for each phone line established. This payment is due on the first Thursday of each month.
The FDD specifies that Casiola will pre-deduct this fee from the gross sales received from customers of the franchised business. If this is not applicable, the fee will be automatically deducted from the franchisee's bank account via ACH or other designated means. This pre-deduction or automatic deduction ensures that Casiola receives timely payment for the phone system service.
It is important to note that the fee is subject to change, as indicated by the word "currently." Prospective franchisees should confirm the most up-to-date fee schedule with Casiola during their due diligence. Understanding the potential for fee increases is crucial for accurate financial planning and assessing the overall cost of operating a Casiola franchise.
