What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the $50.00 fee for the Coffee News Online Premium Service is due on the first day of the month following the prior month's services. Franchisees can pay this fee via credit card, debit card, check, or PayPal.
This provides Coffee News franchisees with multiple payment options, offering flexibility in managing their expenses. The availability of credit/debit card and PayPal payments suggests Coffee News is equipped to handle electronic payments, which is convenient for franchisees.
The consistent application of fees and the non-refundable nature of all fees are standard practices in franchising. Franchisees should ensure they understand the due dates and available payment methods to avoid any late payment issues. The franchisor also reserves the right to adjust the weekly fees based on the annual change, in the March of each year, consumer price index.
