What computer systems and software are required for a Fly Fitness franchise?

According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to purchase computer systems and software that meet the brand's minimum specifications. The estimated initial investment for these computer systems ranges from $1,605 to $2,140. This investment covers the cost of entry-area computer hardware that operates Fly Fitness's current required Point of Sale (POS) system, Mariana Tek, as well as an additional laptop computer or smart device that can operate other required software.

Fly Fitness also mandates that franchisees have Internet and telecommunications equipment and services that adhere to their standards. This is to ensure the electronic transmission of sales information. It is important to note that Fly Fitness retains the right to modify the requirements for computer hardware and software at any time, meaning franchisees may need to upgrade or change their systems in the future.

In addition to the specific computer systems and software, Fly Fitness franchisees will need an office computer and printer as part of their supplies. These are included in the initial supply costs, which range from $2,140 to $3,210. The cost for the computer systems is due before opening and is paid to the suppliers. Prospective franchisees should factor in these potential changes and budget accordingly to avoid unexpected costs.
