For Dq Treat locations, is internet access included as part of the PARPay Service?

According to the 2025 Dq Treat Franchise Disclosure Document, the PARPay Service does not include internet access. A Dq Treat franchisee is responsible for arranging and paying for their own internet access to use the service. This means that in addition to the PARPay service fees, franchisees must budget for a separate internet service provider. This is a common practice, as internet needs can vary significantly based on location and business volume. Franchisees should confirm the minimum required internet speed and data usage with Dq Treat to ensure they select an appropriate plan. This cost should be factored into the overall operating expenses of the franchise. Failing to secure adequate internet service could disrupt payment processing and other essential business functions that rely on the PARPay Service.
