What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chesters' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chesters may increase the POS Technology Fee, but they must provide franchisees with 90 days' prior written notice. The POS Technology Fee is estimated to be between $250 and $325 per month if a franchisee chooses to purchase the POS System hardware that Chesters recommends.
This fee is applicable if the franchisee chooses to purchase the recommended POS system or if Chesters requires franchisees to obtain the Chester's POS System as part of the required operating equipment during the agreement term. However, the monthly fee will not exceed $350.
This advance notice allows franchisees time to adjust their budgets and business plans accordingly. It is a fairly standard practice in franchising to provide some advance notice before implementing fee increases, although the specific timeframe can vary.
