What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, Floyds 99 designates the computer equipment that meets the specifications for its proprietary software. Specifically, the Floyds 99 software must be installed on computer equipment designated by Floyds 99 as meeting its specifications. This designated equipment is what Floyds 99 considers appropriate for running their software programs.
This means a franchisee must use the specific computer hardware and systems that Floyds 99 has determined are compatible and suitable for the software. This ensures uniformity and compatibility across all Floyds 99 locations, allowing for efficient data management, customer service, and brand consistency.
The franchisee is responsible for purchasing and maintaining this designated equipment. Floyds 99 also reserves the right to require franchisees to purchase new and upgraded computer hardware components and software with 30 days' prior written notice. This ensures that all locations are up-to-date with the latest technology and security standards, although it may represent an additional cost for the franchisee.
