What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkersrallys' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Checkers/Rally's Distribution and Services, Inc. (CDSI) does not offer franchises for Restaurants or any other line of business. CDSI is an affiliate of Checkersrallys that provides operational services to Checkersrallys and its franchisees. These services include assistance with customer service programs, price management programs, supply chain management, and quality assurance tests.
This means that prospective Checkersrallys franchisees will not be able to obtain a franchise directly from CDSI. Instead, they will need to work directly with Checkersrallys to obtain a franchise for a Checkers or Rally's restaurant. CDSI's role is to support Checkersrallys and its franchisees with various operational services, not to offer franchises themselves.
It is important for potential franchisees to understand the roles of the different entities involved in the Checkersrallys franchise system. While CDSI provides important support services, the franchise agreement is with Checkersrallys itself. Franchisees should direct their inquiries about franchising opportunities to Checkersrallys, not to its affiliate CDSI.
