What This Means (2024 FDD)
The 2024 Bang Cookies Franchise Disclosure Document defines the Business Management System but does not specify a process for designating or approving third-party suppliers for it.
The FDD defines the "Business Management System" as the software, internet, web-based, or cloud-based systems, including point-of-sale and customer relationship management systems, that Bang Cookies requires franchisees to use for day-to-day sales, ordering, operations, and management. Bang Cookies retains the right to determine and modify the components of the system.
While the FDD details Bang Cookies's control over the Business Management System, it lacks information on how third-party suppliers are selected or approved. A prospective franchisee should ask Bang Cookies for more details about the selection process, any existing approved suppliers, and the criteria used for approval.
