Currently, the Technology Fee is a pass-through cost for the technology services we provide for you from the date that you open your Business for business and will be collected in the same manner as the Royalty Fee and Brand Fund Fee. We reserve the right to implement a non-pass-through Technology Fee for technology and website development services we will provide. We reserve the right to increase the Technology Fee by providing you with written notice of any change at least thirty (30) days prior to the implementation of the new fee amount. We may add, delete, or otherwise modify the products and services that are included in the Technology Fee. In addition to the monthly Technology Fee, you will be responsible for any "per transaction" fee charged by third-party vendors for mobile application or online bookings, if any. The maximum increase for the Technology Fee is 10% annually.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Pearce Bespoke's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Technology Fee will be collected in the same manner as the Royalty Fee and Brand Fund Fee. Currently, the Technology Fee is a pass-through cost for the technology services Pearce Bespoke provides from the date the franchisee opens their Business. The fee is currently $25 per week but is subject to increases not to exceed 10% annually.
Pearce Bespoke requires franchisees to allow them to withdraw royalty fees, brand fund fees, and other fees directly from the franchisee's bank account. On a weekly basis, Pearce Bespoke will calculate the Gross Sales, Net Sales, and Credit Card Sales generated from the operation of the franchise. Pearce Bespoke will pay the franchisee by EFT, ACH, direct deposit, or by similar means, the Net Sales generated from the operation of the franchise during the previous calendar week minus the amount owed for the Technology Fee.
In addition to the monthly Technology Fee, franchisees will be responsible for any "per transaction" fee charged by third-party vendors for mobile application or online bookings, if any. Pearce Bespoke reserves the right to implement a non-pass-through Technology Fee for technology and website development services and may add, delete, or otherwise modify the products and services that are included in the Technology Fee. Pearce Bespoke will provide written notice of any change to the Technology Fee at least thirty (30) days prior to the implementation of the new fee amount.
