What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Southern Steer's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay a POS (Point of Sale) System Fee. The current fee is $800 per month. This fee is paid monthly to Southern Steer's designated supplier for integration and cloud-based support.
It is important to note that this fee is subject to change. Southern Steer may adjust the POS System Fee with prior notice to franchisees if the vendor changes their fees, if Southern Steer changes the system's functionality, or if Southern Steer changes vendors altogether. This means that the franchisee's monthly expenses for the POS system could fluctuate over time.
Franchisees should factor in the potential for these changes when budgeting and planning their finances. It would be prudent to inquire with Southern Steer about the likelihood and potential magnitude of future fee adjustments to better prepare for these costs. Understanding the terms of the vendor agreement and Southern Steer's policies regarding technology updates can also provide more clarity on this ongoing expense.
