Daigle Cleaning Systems

You may purchase the following inventory and equipment from DCS, but you may also purchase these items from other, unrelated approved suppliers: cleaning supplies (such as cleaning agents, paper towels, gloves, sponges etc.) and equipment (such as carpet cleaners or vacuums). We have also approved certain suppliers and vendors, all as listed in the operations manual. We require the following: (i) purchase your stamps and shipping through www.Stamps.com, for which we receive a referral fee of $50 for each franchisee; and (ii) use Paychex, Inc. to handle payroll for your employees. Sam's Club, Johnston Paper, and Home Depot are also authorized suppliers for various supplies and equipment. We anticipate that these required purchases will constitute approximately 90% of all of the goods and services you will need to buy in establishing the business and while operating the business. Neither DCS nor any of its affiliates or persons affiliated with DCS are approved suppliers of these items.

DCS requires you to have a computer system or licensed software from an approved source. All functional requirements are set forth in the operations manual. Any computer can be used that has Windows 1 O, internet capability and Quickbooks online. Appropriate computers can be purchased (if you do not already own an appropriate computer for home use) at approximately $500 -$1,000. Yearly costs to maintain the computer are estimated at $1,000 to $1,500, depending on the upgrades chosen. You must provide DCS with access to your Quickbooks. You will need to upgrade or update your system only infrequently, as most of the systems operate in the cloud and are automatically upgraded as needed. In addition, you must purchase any Franchisor provided software or application that becomes available, including but not limited to Daigle Operating System software, at such fee as may be determined at that time.

We will maintain a primary "Daigle Cleaning Systems" website, which will link to your website and other advertising; you will be required to pay an ongoing advertising fee to us equal to 2% of Gross Sales. DCS will create and host a "landing page" for you where leads will be sent from DCS. DCS will also provide your Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin presence, and will handle a direct email program and search engine optimization services. You may not conduct any other social media activities for the franchise without DCS prior written consent. We are not required to do any other advertising on your behalf, and we are not required to spend any minimum amount in your Territory to advertise "Daigle Cleaning" generally.
