What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the POS (Point of Sale) system license fee is paid to a third-party vendor named MindBody. This fee is estimated to be $599 per month during the three months prior to the studio opening. This is part of the broader "Technology-Related Fees" that a franchisee will incur.
This means that prospective Beem Light Sauna franchisees need to budget for this ongoing monthly expense, specifically allocating $599 to MindBody for the POS system license. It is important to note that this is in addition to the $450 per month Technology Fee that is paid directly to Beem Light Sauna during the same pre-opening period.
Understanding the specific technology requirements and associated costs is crucial for franchisees. The FDD specifies that franchisees must acquire the necessary hardware, software, and network connections for the POS system from approved or designated suppliers and must also execute any related software licenses required by these vendors. This highlights the importance of adhering to Beem Light Sauna's approved technology ecosystem to ensure compatibility and compliance.
