The vendor opportunity at Big Air Franchising
Big Air Franchising operates 17 locations—15 franchised and 2 company-owned—with an average unit volume of $2,661,511.95. The system grew unit count by 50% year-over-year, signaling an active development pipeline. For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is the 15 franchised units, though new openings will expand that number. The 2025 FDD does not disclose any mandated or recommended technology, which suggests a greenfield environment where franchisees may select their own tools or where the franchisor has not yet standardized a tech stack.
Who controls software purchasing
The 2025 FDD does not name any HQ executives, and no centralized purchasing authority is described. Without a clear mandate from the franchisor, software decisions may rest with individual franchisees or a multi-unit operator group. Vendors should approach discovery with the assumption that both the franchisor and franchisees could influence a sale, and they should prepare to navigate a decentralized buying process until more intelligence is gathered.
Mandated and current tech stack
No technology mandates or recommendations appear in the 2025 FDD. This absence means the current tech landscape is not publicly documented. Common operational needs for a trampoline and family-entertainment concept typically include point-of-sale, online booking, waiver management, and party-scheduling platforms, but any existing tools are not disclosed. Vendors can position their solutions as either replacements for unknown incumbents or first-time adoptions for new locations.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the 2025 FDD does not provide a procurement signal, so the franchisor’s supplier model—whether designated, approved, or open—remains undisclosed. The franchise agreement carries a 10-year initial term, and Item 17 outlines renewal conditions: franchisees must sign the then-current agreement, which may contain materially different terms, be current on payments, sign a release, and pay a successor franchise fee. With a 10-year horizon, renewal-driven software evaluations are infrequent, but the 50% unit growth rate means new-location setups create regular sales windows.
How to read the Big Air Franchising FDD
The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document is filed with state franchise regulators and is available for review below. Key sections for software vendors include Item 8 (procurement obligations), Item 11 (franchisor assistance and technology requirements), and Item 17 (renewal and transfer conditions). Because the FDD lacks explicit tech mandates, vendors should read these sections carefully for indirect signals about operational standards that could drive software needs.
