What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the hardware requirements vary based on the store type: Grill and Chill, Treat Store, or New Grill and Chill construction. A standard Grill and Chill location requires 2 front counter terminals and 6 KVS (Kitchen Video System) systems. A typical Treat Centric location requires 2 front counter terminals and 3 KVS systems. A small format Treat Centric location requires 2 front counter terminals and 2 KVS systems. New construction Grill and Chill locations also require 2 front counter terminals and 6 KVS systems.
For a standard Grill and Chill location, the hardware configuration includes additional items such as drive-thru terminals, fingerprint readers, mobile printers, receipt printers, cash drawers, scanners, UPS units, a network switch, network rack and patch panel, Verifone units, surge protectors, and USB sound bars. The new construction Grill and Chill location includes the same hardware as the standard Grill and Chill, but also includes cash drawer mounting brackets and KVS wall mount brackets.
The hardware configuration for a typical Treat Centric location includes drive thru terminals, fingerprint readers, mobile printers, receipt printers, cash drawers, scanners, UPS units, a network switch, network rack and patch panel, Verifone units, surge protectors, and USB sound bars. The small format Treat Centric location includes fingerprint readers, mobile printers, receipt printers, cash drawers, scanners, UPS Units, a network switch, network rack and patch panel, Verifone units, surge protectors, and USB sound bars. Franchisees should review the Sales Order specific to their store configuration and equipment needs based on a site survey to determine the exact hardware and installation costs. New construction stores will follow the "New Store Grill and Chill" standard and will not typically have a Site Survey.
