What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dq Treat FDD, PAR (ParTech, Inc.) will communicate price increases to participating locations in writing via email by January 15th of each year. These price increases take effect on February 1 of the current calendar year.
The price increases are subject to an annual adjustment. This adjustment is determined by taking the lesser of either 2% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase. The CPI increase is calculated based on the immediately preceding unadjusted 12 months, specifically from October 1 through September 30.
The CPI data is derived from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics website. This ensures that the price adjustments are tied to a reliable and publicly available economic indicator, providing transparency and predictability for Dq Treat franchisees.
