What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Technology Fee is currently not being charged. However, Deck Medic retains the right to implement this fee in the future. If implemented, the monthly Technology Fee will not exceed $500 per month.
The Technology Fee is described as an administrative fee, not tied to any specific service, but intended to help Deck Medic cover costs related to the system website and intranet. The Technology Fee also covers the cost of a single license for Single Ops software.
Prospective Deck Medic franchisees should be aware that while the Technology Fee is not currently assessed, it could be implemented at any time. It is important to factor this potential expense into financial projections. Franchisees should also confirm with Deck Medic whether the Single Ops software license is essential for operations and if there are alternative software options available.
