What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees who opt into the Delivery Program must install a printer to support delivery services. Checkersrallys will assist with integrating and installing this printer into the point-of-sale software. The estimated cost to purchase and install the printer is approximately $500.
This cost is in addition to the initial hardware and software costs for the standard Aloha POS system, firewall system, and Xenial restaurant management system, which range from approximately $22,000 to $27,000, depending on the restaurant size. The Delivery Program offers franchisees an opportunity to increase revenue through delivery services, but it also adds to the initial investment and operational complexity.
It is important for prospective Checkersrallys franchisees to consider the costs and benefits of the Delivery Program when evaluating the franchise opportunity. While the $500 printer cost is relatively small, franchisees should also factor in any ongoing fees or commissions associated with the delivery services themselves, which are not detailed in this section. Franchisees should also confirm with Checkersrallys whether the $500 estimate includes all related expenses, such as taxes or shipping.
