What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Del Taco's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must make a one-time payment of $2,997.50 for the Ceridian clock, which is part of the Ceridian Dayforce employee workforce management system. In addition to the one-time payment, franchisees also pay $109.75 per month and $577.50 per year for the Ceridian Dayforce system. These fees are subject to change and may increase based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Ceridian Dayforce system is a required technology for managing the Del Taco restaurant's workforce. The Ceridian clock is a component of this system, hence the separate one-time fee. The monthly and annual fees cover ongoing access, support, and updates to the Ceridian Dayforce platform.
Prospective franchisees should be aware that these technology costs are in addition to other fees outlined in the FDD, such as royalties, marketing fees, and technology support fees. It is important to factor in these ongoing expenses when evaluating the overall financial investment required to operate a Del Taco franchise. Franchisees should also confirm whether the fee increases based on CPI will be applied annually or at different intervals.
