What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to have a computer to manage their business and communicate with Dryject and their customers. However, Dryject does not specify a particular brand, type, components, nor function of the computer hardware or software.
The estimated cost for the computer hardware and software ranges from $400 to $1,600. The computer system itself is not proprietary, meaning Dryject franchisees are not obligated to use a specific system dictated by the franchisor. Additionally, the computer does not require maintenance, support, or service contracts through Dryject.
Dryject franchisees must subscribe to business class high-speed Internet access. While Dryject does not specify the provider, it must be through cable or another method designated in the Operations Manual. Dryject retains the right to require franchisees to update or upgrade their hardware and/or software to conform to new standards or specifications, at the franchisee's expense. Dryject also has the right to remotely access information and data maintained on the computer system.
