What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Churchs Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to obtain their point-of-sale (POS) system from approved suppliers. Currently, the approved suppliers are SynergySuite and QuBeyond. Furthermore, the POS System must be installed by HonorBuilt, which is the approved vendor for installation services.
This requirement ensures that all Churchs Chicken locations use compatible and standardized systems for processing transactions and managing operations. By mandating specific suppliers, Churchs Chicken aims to maintain consistency and efficiency across its franchise network.
For prospective franchisees, this means they must factor in the costs associated with purchasing and installing the POS system from these designated vendors. It also means that franchisees do not have the flexibility to choose their own POS systems or installation providers, as they must adhere to Churchs Chicken's approved list. This is a common practice in franchising, where franchisors often require specific suppliers to maintain quality control and brand consistency.
