What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cicis's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to update their Cicis-approved Point of Sale (POS) system. The total annual cost for these updates ranges from approximately $3,000 to $4,800.
Of this total cost, $1,200 is specifically designated to be payable directly to Cicis or its affiliates. This portion likely covers Cicis's costs for developing, maintaining, and supporting the POS system, as well as ensuring its compatibility with the brand's standards and operational requirements.
The remaining portion of the update cost, which ranges from $1,800 to $3,600, would likely cover expenses paid to third-party vendors or suppliers for hardware, software, installation, or other related services necessary to complete the POS system update. Franchisees should confirm with Cicis exactly what this remaining balance covers to fully understand the costs associated with maintaining their POS system.
