What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Del Taco's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Ceridian Platform is intended to assist Del Taco franchisees in performing certain human resource functions related to operating their businesses. These functions include payroll, benefits, time and attendance, scheduling, compensation management, performance management, document management, recruiting, dashboards, succession planning, unemployment compensation, employment/salary verification, and education.
To participate, a Del Taco franchisee must be in full compliance with their Franchise Agreement and a separate Platform Usage Agreement with Ceridian. Del Taco designates the franchisee as an "Affiliate" under a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with Ceridian, making them eligible to use the Platform. Franchisees are required to use the Platform only for operating their Del Taco restaurant.
Franchisees are responsible for paying fees to Del Taco to use the Ceridian Platform. These fees include a monthly fee of $109.75, the purchase of a Ceridian Time Clock for $2,997.50, and an annual maintenance/subscription fee of $577.50 for the time clock. Del Taco may also charge a reasonable installation fee for the Ceridian Time Clock. Del Taco can also designate an administrator to manage the Platform on behalf of the franchisee, accessing the franchisee's computer system as necessary. However, Del Taco provides no warranties related to the Platform's operation or Ceridian's performance.
