What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Body Brain Center franchisees must use BBYHC's proprietary web-based operations software, BRMNet. Franchisees will sign a Software Service Agreement and pay BBYHC a software fee of $40 per month, which includes technical support, updates, and upgrades.
Importantly, Body Brain Center reserves the right to change the required software at any time. If the new software is licensed from Body Brain Center, franchisees may be required to sign a software license agreement and pay commercially reasonable initial and ongoing licensing fees.
Alternatively, Body Brain Center may enter into software license agreements with other licensors and sublicense the software to franchisees. In this case, Body Brain Center may charge franchisees the amounts they must pay to the licensors based on the franchisee's software use. This means that the monthly software costs could fluctuate depending on the software Body Brain Center requires franchisees to use.
