What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Even Hotels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial cost for the F&B POS (Point of Sale) system ranges from $45,000 to $55,000. This estimate is based on a configuration of 5 outlets with 12 workstations and printers, 3 tablets, and 5 kitchen/bar printers. The FDD specifies that this cost includes the purchase and installation of the POS system.
The FDD indicates that the pricing for the F&B POS system will increase if additional outlets and hardware are installed. Furthermore, franchisees are responsible for securing ongoing maintenance and support for both the application and all associated hardware. The costs for this ongoing support will vary depending on the specific technology needs of the Even Hotels location.
Another section of the FDD provides a different cost range for F&B POS, stating it to be $35,000 to $45,000. This discrepancy suggests that there may be different types or tiers of F&B POS systems available, or that the estimates are based on different assumptions. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Even Hotels which estimate is most applicable to their specific situation and what factors might cause the cost to vary.
