What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, if you choose to use an iPod Touch for your franchise, it must meet certain minimum requirements. Specifically, the iPod Touch must have a camera, be a 7th generation model or later, and run iOS 15 or above.
Gokhale Method also allows franchisees to use alternative devices such as an iPhone (iPhone 6S or later, running iOS 15 or above) or an iPad (running iOS 15 or above). The FDD specifies that franchisees must purchase or obtain these items, but they can be acquired from any source, provided they meet Gokhale Method's standards.
It is important to note that Gokhale Method retains the right to approve exceptions to these equipment requirements on a case-by-case basis. This provides some flexibility if a franchisee wishes to use slightly different equipment and can justify it to Gokhale Method.
