What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Eos Worldwide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must have a computer that can run the most current version of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, or Firefox Internet browser. These browsers are required to view training materials, report sessions, facilitate virtual sessions, and attend virtual meetings.

The FDD specifies that while the necessary programs should function on Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge, Eos Worldwide will only assist franchisees in troubleshooting potential software issues when operating on Google Chrome. This suggests that while other browsers are acceptable, using Google Chrome may provide a smoother experience with better technical support.

In addition to the browser requirements, Eos Worldwide stipulates that computers should be less than three years old and have the most current version of their operating system, such as MacOS (Sequoia) or Windows, with all system and software patches up to date. Franchisees are responsible for ensuring their computer systems meet these requirements to maintain compatibility and security within the Eos Worldwide system.
