What is the current monthly fee for the Cinnaholic point of sale (POS) system?

According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must use the Square POS System, which has a current monthly fee of $179. This fee is subject to change as the vendor adjusts its pricing. In addition to the monthly fee, the initial cost of the POS system is approximately $1,200, with an additional $500 for installation.

Cinnaholic franchisees are required to maintain service contracts for their business, including the POS system. The franchisor has the right to designate vendors for these contracts and may also require franchisees to implement upgrades and changes to the POS system, computer hardware/software, and payment systems. These stipulations ensure uniformity and operational standards across all Cinnaholic locations.

Prospective franchisees should factor in not only the initial investment for the POS system and its installation but also the ongoing monthly fees and potential increases. It is important to clarify with Cinnaholic what the typical range of increases has been historically and to budget accordingly. Additionally, franchisees should inquire about any potential additional costs related to mandatory upgrades or changes to the POS system, as these could impact the overall cost of operation.
