HQ-led decisions
BOXHAUS
FitnessSoftware purchasing at BOXHAUS is controlled at the HQ level by a small leadership team including CEO Vanessa Bourne and COO Don Michael. The brand currently operates a single company-owned location and does not mandate any specific technology systems in its 2024 FDD. This represents a narrow but direct addressable market for vendors who can engage decision-makers early.

The vendor opportunity at BOXHAUS
BOXHAUS is a fitness concept headquartered in California. According to its 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the system consists of exactly 1 unit, which is company-owned. The number of franchised units is not disclosed in the FDD, and year-over-year unit growth is not available. For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is limited to this single location and its HQ leadership. The royalty rate is set at 7.0%, but average unit volume (AUV) is not reported, making it difficult to model a franchisee’s technology budget. The initial franchise term length is also not disclosed.
Despite the small footprint, the brand’s leadership structure is clearly defined, which simplifies vendor outreach. The absence of a parent company suggests BOXHAUS is independently owned, meaning decisions are made internally without a larger corporate hierarchy. Vendors who engage now could position themselves as foundational technology partners if the brand expands.
Who controls software purchasing
The 2024 FDD lists four executives in Item 1: Vanessa Bourne (CEO), Andre Huseman (President), Don Michael (COO), and Ken Lynch (Director of Franchise Development). In a single-unit operation, the CEO and COO are the most likely decision-makers for operational and IT purchases. The Director of Franchise Development may also play a role if the brand is actively seeking to grow its franchise network, as technology choices made now could become standards for future franchisees.
Because there are no franchisees mapped in our corpus, all purchasing authority sits at HQ. There is no multi-unit operator layer to navigate. This makes BOXHAUS a straightforward, albeit small, target for a direct sales approach.
Mandated and current tech stack
The 2024 FDD does not capture any mandated or recommended technology systems. No POS vendor, no booking platform, no CRM, and no operational software are named. This means the brand either has not standardized its tech stack or does not disclose those standards in its FDD. For a vendor, this is a blank slate: there is no incumbent to displace, but also no signal that the brand is actively procuring.
Vendors selling into fitness concepts should be prepared to demonstrate value for a single-location operator, with the ability to scale if franchising accelerates. Without a disclosed tech mandate, the conversation will likely start from zero.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD, which typically outlines procurement restrictions and designated suppliers, did not yield an extract in our data. This means we cannot confirm whether BOXHAUS requires franchisees to buy from specific vendors or allows open purchasing. Similarly, Item 17, which covers renewal terms and conditions, provided no extract. The initial franchise term is also not disclosed.
Without these data points, it is impossible to predict contract renewal windows or procurement cycles. Vendors should assume an ad-hoc purchasing process driven by immediate operational needs at the single existing location.
How to read the BOXHAUS FDD
The full BOXHAUS 2024 FDD is embedded below for your review. It was filed with state franchise regulators and contains the legal and operational disclosures required for franchise sales. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1 (executives), Item 8 (procurement), Item 11 (franchisor assistance and required systems), and Item 17 (renewal). As noted, several of these items lack detailed extracts in our corpus, so direct review of the PDF is recommended.
