From the filings
Bora Bora Smoothie Cafe
Quick service restaurantBora Bora Smoothie Cafe operates all 3 of its quick-service units directly, with no franchised locations to canvass. The FDD names social platforms — Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, and Twitter — and Yelp, but none of them carries a mandate. Item 8 runs a designated-supplier model, including an affiliate wholesaler for juice products. For a vendor, this is a small, corporate-run system where the pitch goes straight to headquarters.
For software vendors selling into US franchise brands.

The vendor opportunity at Bora Bora Smoothie Cafe Bora Bora Smoothie Cafe runs 3 quick-service units, and every one is company-owned. There's no franchisee network to work through — the entire buying decision sits at headquarters.
Who controls software purchasing Item 2 names Abdul Hassen as Chief Executive Officer, Ali Muflahi as Chief Logistics Officer and President, and Mohammed Ahamed Alqaifi as Chief Operations Officer and Secretary. With every unit company-run, operations leadership is the direct route to a purchasing decision.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required The FDD names Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, and Twitter under Item 6, and Yelp under Item 8 — but none of them is required. Nothing in the filing mandates a specific point-of-sale or operations platform.
Procurement, renewals, and timing Item 8 runs a designated-suppliers-only model: goods, services, supplies, fixtures, furnishings, and equipment must come from designated or franchisor-approved sources. The company's own affiliate, Bora Bora Juice USA Inc., already supplies its company-owned locations and is set to supply franchisees and third parties going forward. The initial term is 10 years; Item 17's renewal runs 5 years and requires compliance, a refurbished location, updated training, cleared payments, a general release, and 6 to 9 months' written notice.
