What is the purpose of the Del Taco 'Software' according to the FDD?

According to Del Taco's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Del Taco proprietary ULTRABOS software system is designed for use in the licensed restaurants. Specifically, the software is intended to assist with labor scheduling, calculating ideal food costs, and maintaining inventory and sales records. This indicates that Del Taco franchisees are expected to utilize this software to manage key operational aspects of their business.

The software is licensed to franchisees for their internal business purposes and is to be used on one personal computer in each licensed restaurant. Del Taco retains ownership of the software and provides updates to improve performance or fix errors. Franchisees are responsible for site preparation necessary for the software's installation and use, including electrical, air conditioning, and cables for connecting printers and point-of-sale terminals.

Del Taco offers support services for the software, and franchisees may be required to pay a monthly support fee. However, Del Taco makes no warranties regarding the software's reliability or functionality and is not liable for any loss of sales or data inaccuracies caused by the software. Franchisees are also responsible for backing up their data daily and complying with operational requirements outlined in their franchise agreement and manuals.
