Does Deer Solution have the right to change the Business Management Systems used by franchisees?

According to the 2025 Deer Solution Franchise Disclosure Document, Deer Solution retains the right to modify and designate alternative Business Management Systems. These changes will be made based on Deer Solution's reasonable business judgment.

This means that as a franchisee, you may be required to adapt to new software or systems for managing your Deer Solution business. This could involve learning new processes, updating hardware or software, and potentially incurring costs for training or implementation. Deer Solution also maintains direct access to the franchisee's Business Management System for the Franchised Business and to the franchisee's Business Management System Data.

The Business Management System Data includes forms, data, tools, customer information, inventory, and sales information entered into the system. This data can be entered by either Deer Solution or the franchisee and is recorded and maintained by the Business Management System.

It is important for a prospective franchisee to understand that Deer Solution's ability to modify the Business Management Systems is a standard practice in franchising, allowing the franchisor to maintain consistency and efficiency across the brand. However, franchisees should inquire about the frequency and potential costs associated with such changes to fully prepare for these transitions.
