What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Floyds 99's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees can access the ICIMS recruiting software platform without incurring a direct charge under specific circumstances. The FDD indicates that there is no cost to use ICIMS unless the franchisee chooses to use texting as an option.
If a franchisee elects to use the texting feature within the ICIMS platform, they will be billed for this service. Floyds 99, or its affiliates, receive the bill from ICIMS for the texting option and subsequently invoice the franchisee for the charge.
In practical terms, a Floyds 99 franchisee can utilize the basic ICIMS recruiting platform for free, allowing them to manage job postings and applications without additional software costs. However, if they want to enhance their recruiting efforts by using texting to communicate with potential candidates, they will incur an additional expense, which will vary depending on their usage of the texting feature.
