What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Casiola's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Bookings and Management System is defined as the software, internet, web-based, or cloud-based systems, point of sale systems, and customer relationship management systems that Casiola requires a franchisee to use. These systems are designated by Casiola and are deemed necessary for the day-to-day sales, ordering, operations, and management of the franchised business.
The FDD specifies that the Bookings and Management System may include multiple point of sale systems installed and maintained on-site at the Administrative Office. It can also include portable tablet or computer systems used on-site when providing services to customers. Additionally, the system may encompass web-based, private server-based, network-based, or cloud-based customer ordering, processing, production, or service delivery systems. Customer membership and rewards systems may also be integrated into the Bookings and Management System.
Casiola retains the right to modify and designate alternative Bookings and Management Systems as it determines necessary. This means that franchisees must remain adaptable to changes in technology and operational systems as directed by Casiola. The franchisee will be required to use the booking and management systems that Casiola deems necessary for the franchise.
