What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Gokhale Method's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee chooses to use an iPod Touch, it must be a 7th generation or later model. The iPod Touch must also have a camera and run iOS 15 or above.
In addition to the iPod Touch, Gokhale Method also specifies requirements for other devices. Franchisees must have an Apple MacBook with an Intel Core i5 processor (or equivalent), MacOS 12 Monterey (or later), and at least a 13-inch monitor. Alternatively, an equivalent PC can be used. Franchisees can also use an iPhone (6S or later, running iOS 15 or above) or an iPad (running iOS 15 or above).
These technology requirements ensure that franchisees have the necessary tools to deliver Gokhale Method's services effectively. It is important to note that exceptions to these requirements may be approved by GMI on a case-by-case basis, offering some flexibility for franchisees with specific needs or circumstances.
