What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Technology Provisioning Fee does not include the cost of hardware. The Technology Provisioning Fee is $12,500, and it covers the setup of the City Wide enterprise software. Franchisees are required to purchase hardware from City Wide separately.
This means that in addition to the $12,500 Technology Provisioning Fee, a new City Wide franchisee must budget for the cost of hardware required to run the City Wide software. The FDD does not specify the cost of the hardware, so a prospective franchisee should inquire about these costs to accurately estimate the total initial investment.
Furthermore, franchisees are also responsible for ongoing monthly licensing fees for the software. Understanding these additional technology-related expenses is crucial for assessing the financial feasibility of a City Wide franchise.
