Can Chocolate Fish Coffee change the required payment method for royalty fees?

According to Chocolate Fish Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chocolate Fish Coffee currently requires franchisees to pay royalty fees and other amounts due via preauthorized bank draft. However, Chocolate Fish Coffee retains the right to require an alternative payment method from its franchisees.

This means that while the standard payment method is currently a preauthorized bank draft, Chocolate Fish Coffee can change this requirement. This gives Chocolate Fish Coffee flexibility in how it collects payments, and franchisees must be prepared to adapt to any new payment methods Chocolate Fish Coffee might implement during the franchise term.

It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that Chocolate Fish Coffee has the power to modify payment methods. Franchisees should inquire about the potential reasons for changing payment methods and whether there are any limitations or conditions associated with such changes.
