What is included in the Face Foundrie Initial Technology Expenses?

According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial technology expenses cover the costs of the computer system and associated equipment required to manage the Facial Bar, meeting Face Foundrie's minimum standards. This encompasses a reception system featuring an iMac computer, between 9 to 10 iPads, a credit card reader, a phone system, and internet access, along with related equipment. Additional technology requirements include a sound system, a security system, a computer for management use, and a printer.

The estimated initial investment for technology ranges from $9,000 to $11,500. The lower end of the estimate assumes the franchisee purchases nine iPads, one computer, and 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. These technology expenses are paid to approved suppliers and are typically incurred before the Facial Bar opens.

Prospective franchisees should consider these technology requirements when assessing the overall initial investment. The specific technology needs and choices made (e.g., basic vs. professional security system) will influence the final cost. It is important to confirm with Face Foundrie which suppliers are approved and whether there are any specific technology specifications or standards that must be met. Understanding these details will help in accurately budgeting for the technology component of opening a Face Foundrie franchise.
