From the filings
Blushington Franchising
Personal servicesBlushington Franchising operates a single company-owned lounge and has not yet franchised, so software purchasing is controlled at the corporate level by the Maron family leadership. The FDD mandates Zenoti for booking and POS and Mailchimp for marketing communications. With zero franchised units, the addressable market today is the franchisor itself, but the franchise agreement creates a template for future franchisee-level software requirements.

The vendor opportunity at Blushington
Blushington Franchising is a personal services brand headquartered in New York with exactly one location—a company-owned lounge. The FDD reports zero franchised outlets, so the addressable market for software vendors is currently the franchisor itself. The franchise agreement, however, imposes a detailed technology stack on future franchisees, which means any vendor that wins the franchisor's approval today could become the default for a growing network.
Item 19 makes no financial performance representation, so there is no Item 19 average unit volume figure to anchor a pitch. Vendors should size the opportunity around the franchisor's own operations and the systems it has already designated.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 of the FDD names the leadership team: Mark Maron (Chairman), Stephi Maron Cohen (Co-Chief Executive Officer), Nicki Maron (Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Marketing Officer), and Jacinda Perez (Vice President of Store and Franchise Operations). For software vendors, Perez is the most relevant buyer because she oversees store and franchise operations, the function that would evaluate POS, booking, and operational tools. Nicki Maron, as CMO, likely controls marketing technology decisions, including the Mailchimp relationship.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Item 11 of the FDD obliges franchisees to use two systems. The first is Zenoti, which the filing designates as the appointment booking platform and point of sale system. Franchisees must pay a software license fee, currently $625 per month, to Zenoti. The second is Mailchimp, which the franchisor designates as the marketing and communications supplier. Franchisees must acquire and install software from any marketing and communications supplier the franchisor designates, and that supplier is currently Mailchimp.
The filing also requires franchisees to install and maintain computers and tablets capable of running the required software, along with printers and other peripherals. Franchisees must maintain a high-speed internet connection with email capability. The franchisor may require additional hardware or software in the future, including enhancements, additions, substitutions, modifications, and upgrades. The FDD states that neither the franchisor nor its affiliates nor any third parties are required to provide ongoing maintenance, repairs, upgrades, or updates to the franchisee's computer system.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 establishes an approved-supplier model. Franchisees must purchase millwork from RPG, a New York City-based supplier. Creative and graphic design services for marketing materials must come from Monolith Collective, LLC. Point of sale hardware and software must come from Zenoti. Uniforms and certain marketing collateral must come from approved suppliers. Franchisees may propose alternative suppliers, but they must obtain the franchisor's prior written approval.
Franchisees must also purchase an initial supply of professional/back bar inventory and retail inventory—enough for 60 to 90 days of operation—from the franchisor. All professional/back bar inventory and retail inventory used in the Lounge must be purchased from the franchisor, though franchisees may propose a supplier for approval.
Item 17 provides for renewal in 5-year terms after the initial 10-year term. Renewal is conditional on signing the then-current form of franchise agreement, which may be materially different from the original. Franchisees must give written notice, not be in default, pay all money owed, retain the right to the location, pay a renewal fee, execute a general release, and comply with then-current qualifications and training requirements. For software vendors, the renewal cycle is a natural moment when the franchisor may update its required technology stack.
