What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial technology expenses range from $9,000 to $11,500. These expenses cover the costs of the computer system and associated equipment required to manage the Facial Bar, meeting Face Foundrie's minimum requirements.
The technology package includes a reception system with an iMac computer, 9 to 10 iPads, a credit card reader, a phone system, and internet access. Additional technology requirements consist of a sound system, a security system, a computer for management use, and a printer. The lower end of the estimate assumes the franchisee purchases nine iPads, one computer, and installs a basic self-installed security system. The higher end of the estimate accounts for the purchase of 10 iPads, two computers, and a professionally installed security system.
Prospective Face Foundrie franchisees should consider these technology costs as part of their initial investment. The specific technology chosen can influence the overall efficiency and security of the Facial Bar. It is important to discuss technology requirements and approved suppliers with Face Foundrie to ensure compliance and to make informed purchasing decisions.
