What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial cost to purchase the computer system and point-of-sale system ranges from $5,000 to $7,000. This cost includes any upfront license fees, setup fees, software training fees, and data migration fees.
For a prospective Itan franchisee, this means setting aside between $5,000 and $7,000 during the initial investment phase to cover the costs associated with acquiring the necessary technology. It is important to note that this is just an initial estimate, and the actual cost may vary depending on the specific systems chosen and any additional services required.
In addition to the initial cost, the FDD also mentions a technology fee that franchisees must pay for certain software, technology, and related services provided by Itan. This ongoing fee is separate from the initial purchase cost and should be factored into the overall operating expenses of the franchise. Franchisees should inquire about the specifics of this technology fee to fully understand the ongoing costs associated with the technology systems.
