According to Beard Papas's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees will not receive any material benefits for using designated or approved suppliers. While Beard Papas may negotiate purchase agreements with designated suppliers and establish preferred vendor programs, these arrangements do not translate into direct material benefits for the franchisee.

Beard Papas and its affiliates may receive rebates, payments, and other material benefits from suppliers based on franchisee purchases. During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, Beard Papas earned $459,862.40 in rebates, which represented 19.6% of their total revenue of $2,348,295. However, these benefits are retained by Beard Papas and are not shared with the franchisees.

Franchisees are required to purchase or lease certain source-restricted goods and services, which are estimated to represent a significant portion of their total purchases and ongoing operating expenses. These include system supplies, branded furniture, fixtures, equipment, signage, point-of-sale systems, computer equipment, credit card processing, online ordering systems, branded items, and marketing materials. While franchisees are obligated to use designated suppliers for these items, they do not receive any direct material benefits from doing so.
