Who at Ella Cafe is the Authorization Agreement to be sent to?

According to Ella Cafe's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Attachment 4 to the Franchise Agreement includes an Authorization Agreement for Direct Payments (ACH Debits). The document does not specify to whom the completed authorization agreement should be sent.

Typically, such authorization agreements are submitted to the franchisor's accounting or finance department. This allows Ella Cafe to directly debit the franchisee's account for ongoing fees, royalties, or other payments as outlined in the franchise agreement. Direct debit authorization simplifies payment processes and ensures timely collection of funds.

Prospective Ella Cafe franchisees should clarify with the franchisor the exact procedures for submitting the Authorization Agreement. Specifically, they should confirm the correct department, contact person, and preferred method of submission (e.g., mail, email, or online portal) to ensure proper handling and avoid any delays or issues with payment processing.
