What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crepe De Licious's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee makes a payment to Crepe De Licious or its affiliates via credit card for any required fee, Crepe De Licious may charge a Payment Service Fee. This fee can be up to 4% of the total charge. This fee is incurred as payments are made.
This means that if a Crepe De Licious franchisee uses a credit card to pay any fees owed to the company, they should expect to pay an additional service fee. For example, if a franchisee pays $1,000 via credit card, the Payment Service Fee could be as high as $40 (4% of $1,000).
Franchisees should factor this potential charge into their budgeting and consider alternative payment methods to avoid the fee. It is important to note that this fee is not a fixed amount but rather a maximum, so the actual fee charged could be lower than 4%, or Crepe De Licious may choose to waive it. Franchisees should confirm the current Payment Service Fee policy with Crepe De Licious to fully understand the potential costs.
