The vendor opportunity at E & G Franchise Systems E & G Franchise Systems franchises 55 of its 58 US quick-service restaurants, with 3 owned by affiliates, concentrated in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Item 19 of the FDD makes a financial performance representation.
Who controls software purchasing President, CEO, and board member Eric Wolfe leads a corporate team that designates the Computer System every location must run. The franchise agreement requires franchisees to purchase that system — back office, POS, online ordering, and loyalty — from a third party E & G designates or approves, and to maintain and upgrade it as required.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required E & G requires the Revel point-of-sale system, Punchh for loyalty, and Zuppler for online ordering. The current approved POS system is Revel, and franchisees must purchase its software and hardware directly. Franchisees must accept the payment methods E & G determines, including near field communication services such as Apple Pay. Item 11 bars a franchisee internet presence for the Franchised Business except as E & G provides, and allows a social media account such as Facebook or Twitter only with E & G's consent.
Procurement, renewals, and timing Item 8 requires franchisees to buy foods, beverages, products, computer systems, payment processors, and services only from sources E & G specifies in writing, with room to propose an alternative supplier by submitting samples for evaluation. Item 17 grants two 10-year renewal terms (two 5-year terms for non-traditional locations) with timely notice, a renewal fee, and a premises upgrade.
