Software purchasing at Black Optix Tint is controlled at the franchisor HQ level, where executives like CEO Ray Titus and COO Brady Lee oversee a system of 30 locations.

With 29 franchised units and 31.8% year-over-year unit growth, the addressable market is small but expanding, concentrated in Virginia, Florida, and South Carolina.

Questions vendors ask

Black Optix Tint, answered from the filing

The FDD lists CEO Ray Titus, COO Brady Lee, CFO Todd Newton, and CDO Michael White. Purchasing authority likely sits with the C-suite, given the franchisor's mandated tech approach and small unit count.
The 2026 FDD mandates FranPOS POS System and a Tint Film Cutting System. QuickBooks by Intuit Inc. is also specified as a recommended or required accounting tool.
There are 30 total units: 29 franchised and 1 company-owned. All 36 mapped operators are single-unit, with no multi-unit owners reported.
The FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so designated vs. approved supplier status is not disclosed in the most recent filing.
Renewal terms run 35 years, requiring compliance, renovation, and a new Franchise Agreement. With 31.8% unit growth, new location openings may create near-term software evaluation opportunities.
The 2026 FDD is filed with state franchise regulators. You can view the full document in the embedded PDF viewer below.
