From the filings
Software purchasing at BASH Boxing is controlled at the headquarters level, though the 2024 FDD does not name specific decision-makers. The brand has not disclosed any mandated or recommended technology systems, leaving the current tech stack largely unknown. With only one mapped location in Minnesota, the addressable market for vendors is extremely limited.

Who buys here
The decision-maker a vendor sells to at this scale, and the gaps they’re paid to close, derived from our data by segment and unit count, not a guess.
The franchisor's owner/CEO decides; an ops or franchise-development lead may evaluate.
BASH Boxing is a fitness concept headquartered in Washington, DC. For software vendors, the immediate opportunity is small: operator mapping shows roughly one location, all in Minnesota. No multi-unit franchisees appear in the data, and the unit-band split is 1:1 for single-unit operators, with zero operators in the 2–9, 10–24, or 25+ brackets. The brand appears independently owned, with no parent company on file.
Key financial and contractual metrics—average unit volume, royalty percentage, and initial term length—are not disclosed in the 2024 FDD. Year-over-year unit growth is also unavailable. This limited transparency means vendors must rely on direct discovery to size any potential deal.
The 2024 FDD does not list any headquarters executives in Item 1. Without named buyers, vendors should assume purchasing authority sits at the HQ level but cannot target a specific CIO, VP of IT, or operations lead from the disclosure alone. In a system this small, the founder or an owner-operator likely makes technology decisions directly. Reaching the right contact will require outbound research beyond the FDD.
BASH Boxing’s 2024 FDD contains no mandated or recommended technology systems. There are no named POS providers, scheduling platforms, or operational tools that franchisees are required to use. For a vendor, this means the existing tech stack is a blank slate in the public record—an opportunity to introduce solutions, but also a signal that the brand has not prioritized centralized technology standards.
Item 8 of the FDD, which typically outlines procurement restrictions and designated suppliers, was not extracted. Without that data, it is unclear whether BASH Boxing operates a closed supplier model, an approved-vendor program, or an open procurement environment. Similarly, Item 17 renewal terms and the initial franchise term are not disclosed, making it impossible to estimate when contract windows might open. Vendors should approach this as an opportunistic, relationship-driven sale rather than one tied to a predictable renewal cycle.
The 2024 FDD is embedded below for full review. It was filed with state franchise regulators and contains the brand’s official disclosures on fees, obligations, and system standards. For software vendors, the most relevant sections are Item 8 (procurement), Item 11 (technology obligations), and Item 17 (renewal and termination). In this case, many of those items lack the detail a vendor would normally use to build a pitch, so direct engagement with HQ is essential.
