What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dq Treat Franchise Disclosure Document, price increases for equipment, installation services, subscription software services, PARPay services, advance exchange services, and on-site remedial maintenance services take effect on February 1 of the current calendar year. These price increases are determined annually, starting January 1, 2021, and are based on the lesser of 2% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase. The CPI increase is calculated using the immediately preceding 12 months (October 1 through September 30) and is derived from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Dq Treat franchisees can anticipate these annual price adjustments, which will impact their operational costs. The franchisor, PAR, communicates these price increases in writing via email by January 15th of each year, giving franchisees a brief window to adjust their budgets accordingly.
This pricing structure allows Dq Treat to adjust for inflation and market conditions, but it also provides some predictability for franchisees. By capping the annual increase at the lesser of 2% or the CPI, franchisees have a reasonable expectation of the maximum price hike they might face each year. Franchisees should monitor their email for the official announcement from PAR each January to stay informed about the specific changes affecting their costs.
