What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the availability of optional PARPay Services depends on three factors: the device selected, point of sale integration, and payment processor integration. These optional services are included in the monthly PARPay Service Fees, though one-time set-up fees may apply. Dq Treat franchisees can contact PAR for more information on these optional PARPay Services.
The optional PARPay services include media content (either static or video on the device), standard reward programs, CRM surveys provided on the device, charity/donations provided on the device, SKU displays on the device, tip/gratuity entry on the device, AVS Security, paperless receipt via text or email, split tender display on the device, signature capture, store and forward, ApplePay, SamSung Pay, and internationalization on the device (option to change device language).
For a prospective Dq Treat franchisee, this means that the specific hardware and software choices they make for their point-of-sale system will directly impact which additional payment and customer engagement features they can access through PARPay. It is important to discuss these integration requirements and set-up fees with PAR during the initial setup to fully understand the capabilities and costs associated with the PARPay system.
