Dog Haus requires franchisees to purchase a POS System designated by them. Currently, Toast, Inc. is the only approved supplier, including the Dog Haus Suite of Tools.
In addition to the initial purchase cost, franchisees should also budget for ongoing expenses. The monthly maintenance costs for the POS System range from $254 to $500. Dog Haus may change their approved supplier of the POS System at any time with 90 days' notice. Franchisees are also obligated to upgrade the POS System if Dog Haus instructs them to do so.
