What software must a Face Foundrie franchisee obtain from a mandatory vendor?

According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must obtain facial bar management software from a mandatory vendor. This software handles scheduling, appointment booking, inventory management, and payments. Additionally, franchisees must use mandatory vendors for online accounting software and a financial performance data reporting platform. The cost for the financial performance data reporting platform is included in the Technology Fee paid to Face Foundrie.

Face Foundrie requires franchisees to purchase, maintain, and upgrade computer hardware and software, including the designated facial bar management software, internet service, and email, as outlined in the Operations Manual and Franchise Agreement. Franchisees must also use designated vendors for online accounting and the financial performance data reporting platform.

These requirements ensure that Face Foundrie maintains a consistent technological infrastructure across all franchise locations, which can help with data collection, brand consistency, and operational efficiency. However, it also means franchisees have limited choice in selecting software and vendors, potentially impacting costs and specific feature preferences. Franchisees must also execute any software license agreements required by Face Foundrie or the software licensor, along with any related software maintenance agreements.
