RTC SCORE

8.5

#1 of 15 with enough data

What we like

  • A personalized operating agreement in every package, even the $79 one.
  • 90-day refund window on its own fees, the longest we found.
  • Registered agent at $119 a year after the included year.

What to watch

  • The order form comes with the EIN, the registered agent and a $99 license package already checked on Basic: uncheck what you don't want.
  • To stop the registered agent you must send proof of the new agent before the renewal date, or you owe the full year.
  • Its own pages disagree on the registered agent price ($99 or $119 a year); we count the order form's $119.

Counts in the RTC Score only if our reference restaurant qualifies.

The switching or signing incentive is one of the criteria with the most weight in the RTC Score. We count a promotion only while it's current, with a fixed published amount and conditions our reference restaurant meets. "Up to" amounts, buyouts of your current contract and unpublished amounts don't count. The cost calculator subtracts one only when your numbers qualify.
