What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to pay a Technology and Support Fee of $100 per month. This fee grants the franchisee the right to utilize specific technologies mandated and provided by Cicis for the operation of their restaurant.
This Technology and Support Fee is in addition to any direct out-of-pocket expenses the franchisee incurs to acquire and maintain the necessary computer systems and other technologies to comply with the franchise agreement and operational manual. Franchisees must pay this fee at the times and in the manner designated by Cicis or the service provider.
Cicis retains the right to mandate that franchisees enter into a written agreement with a third-party provider under terms and conditions that Cicis approves or requires. This means that while the fee is fixed at $100 per month, franchisees may have additional technology-related costs depending on the specific systems Cicis requires and the agreements Cicis establishes with third-party providers.
