What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, PAR will communicate price increases to participating locations in writing via email by January 15th of each year. These price increases take effect on February 1st of that same year.
The annual price increase is determined based on the lesser of 2% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase. The CPI increase is calculated using the immediately preceding unadjusted 12 months (October 1 through September 30) from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics website.
For a prospective Dq Treat franchisee, this means that PAR, the point-of-sale system provider, may adjust its pricing annually, and franchisees will receive notification of these changes by mid-January. Franchisees should factor in potential cost increases for these services when budgeting and forecasting their expenses. It is important to regularly check email communications from PAR to stay informed about any price adjustments that may impact their operational costs.
