What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a one-time deployment fee of $75.00 is charged for each Terminal deployment at each Designated Location. This fee applies to Operated Locations, Participating Franchisees, and Sub-Franchisees.
This deployment fee covers the setup, download, shipping, and handling of the terminal. It includes one terminal and any accompanying peripherals or accessories. The delivery timeframe is guaranteed to be within 1-3 business days.
For a prospective Dq Treat franchisee, this means that each location they operate will incur a $75 fee for each terminal that is deployed. This is in addition to the cost of purchasing or renting the terminals themselves. Franchisees should factor this cost into their initial investment and ongoing operational expenses. It is important to note that this fee does not include applicable shipping, duties, and taxes, which will be added to the $75 deployment fee.
