You must record all sales on electronic cash registers designated or approved by us. You may be required to use computer-based cash registers which are fully compatible with our computer system and which include an information interface capability to communicate electronically with our computer system. We may require you to obtain equipment, software, and/or services to facilitate communications between your computer-based cash registers and our computer system. If we require you to use proprietary software, you must execute and comply with such software license agreements as we deem necessary to protect our interests, and you agree to pay such license, training, and maintenance fee as we deem reasonably appropriate. Currently, we require you to use the Aloha POS system (version 19 or higher) and an integrated restaurant management system owned by Xenial, Inc. (“Xenial”). The Aloha system includes sales processing (including credit cards) and communication of orders to a printer or kitchen display monitors. The Xenial system includes food cost, inventory management, and labor management software features. We also require that you use a firewall system from one of our preferred vendors. We estimate the initial hardware and 44 Checkers/Rally’s 2026 FDD ACTIVE 720049430v5 software cost for the standard configuration Aloha POS system, the firewall system, and Xenial restaurant management system will be approximately $22,000 to $27,000, depending on the size of your Franchised Restaurant. Currently, the approximate annual ongoing costs of those systems which you must pay directly to the suppliers are $1,400 to $1,600 for Xenial support; approximately $450 for Aloha software maintenance for 3 terminals plus $90 for each additional terminal (plus applicable taxes); and between $1,100 and $6,000 for hardware depending on the hardware in use at the Franchised Restaurant (after second year of use) (plus applicable taxes). In addition, you must pay us or our affiliate a quarterly fee ranging from $190 to $370 for ongoing costs, which includes costs related to the Aloha Command and Configuration Center ($123) and Menu Management services ($95). If you choose to use Aloha’s Connected Payment service for the Point-to-Point encryption credit card processing service we require for the Franchised Restaurant, you must pay us approximately $204 on a quarterly basis (which we will pay to Aloha). If you choose to use Scale Computing for the firewall system we require for the Franchised Restaurant, you must pay us $19 monthly for Scale Computing's firewall system plus any cellular overage fees (which we will then pay to Scale Computing).
