What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hardees' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the recommended replacement for the Delphi FTT1000/FTT3000 serial-based timers used in the drive-thru is the TIMER, HME ZOOM DRIVE-THRU, specifically the C12061 - Zoom timer. This indicates that Hardees has identified a specific replacement product for older timer systems in its drive-thrus.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that if a Hardees location has these older Delphi timers, they will likely need to be replaced with the HME Zoom Drive-Thru timer. This replacement ensures compatibility with Hardees' current operational standards and technology. The FDD also mentions that the replacement timer has cloud enablement and CKE Data Feed capabilities.
It is important for franchisees to factor in the cost of this equipment upgrade when assessing the initial investment and ongoing operational expenses for a Hardees franchise. Franchisees should confirm with Hardees whether the HME Zoom Drive-Thru timer is the only approved replacement and if there are any specific installation or compatibility requirements.
