What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Order Ahead Program Administration Fee is 2% of the total price charged to a customer for orders placed through the optional Order Ahead Program. This program allows customers to pre-order food, beverages, and other approved items for pick-up from Checkersrallys Restaurants.
The Order Ahead Program Administration Fee is paid bi-monthly. This fee is only applicable if a franchisee is eligible and chooses to participate in the Order Ahead Program by entering into the Order Ahead Program Participation Agreement with Checkersrallys.
Participation in the Order Ahead Program is optional, but if a franchisee elects to participate, they must comply with all agreements Checkersrallys negotiates with the service providers of the Order Ahead Program. This means franchisees need to be aware of the terms and conditions set by Checkersrallys and the service providers, as these will govern how the program operates and the franchisee's responsibilities.
