What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dq Treat FDD, franchisees and sub-franchisees have the option to participate in an equipment replacement program for terminals purchased from GIFT (First Data Resources, LLC) that are no longer under warranty. The cost for this replacement program is $125.00 per replaced terminal.
The equipment replacement includes overnight service on the replacement terminal and a call tag pick-up of the defective terminal. This program is optional, meaning franchisees are not required to participate.
This program can be beneficial for Dq Treat franchisees as it provides a quick solution for malfunctioning terminals, minimizing downtime and potential loss of sales. The flat fee of $125.00 covers both the replacement and the logistics of returning the defective equipment, offering a predictable cost for this service.
