3. “Gross Sales” means all revenue that you receive, directly or indirectly, from operating your CYDF Facial Bar, including all amounts or other consideration you receive at or away from the Premises, and whether from cash, check, credit and debit card, barter exchange, trade credit, or other credit transactions. Gross Sales includes the proceeds of any business interruption insurance or similar insurance. Gross Sales will also include amounts you earn from the sale of any online group-bought deals (e.g., ClassPass) and the sale of any gift cards or gift certificates, in each case calculated using our then current guidelines for calculating Gross Sales, which may include calculating such amounts, at our option, as either (i) the purchasing value of such the certificate, card or deal when it is redeemed at your CYDF Facial Bar; or (ii) the amount of the payment you received for such certificate, card or deal at the time of its sale. Gross Sales does not, however, include any federal, state, or municipal sales, use or service taxes collected from customers and paid to the appropriate taxing authority. You must provide your profit and loss statements to us on a monthly basis for our review in a manner that we prescribe. If we cease to have access to your Gross Sales via the Computer System (defined in Item 11) and you fail to report your CYDF Facial Bar’s Gross Sales when due, then for each payment calculated based on Gross Sales, we may debit your CYDF Facial Bar account 110% of the average of the last 3 applicable payments we debited. If the amount we debit is more than the amount you actually owe us, we will credit the excess against the amounts we otherwise would debit from your account on the next payment due date.

The vendor opportunity at Clean Your Dirty Face
Clean Your Dirty Face operates 32 franchised personal-services locations, all under a single-tier ownership structure with no multi-unit operators on file. The system generated an average unit volume of $325,197.90 in the most recent reporting period and grew unit count by 23.077% year-over-year. For software vendors, the addressable market is small but expanding: 32 units today, concentrated in Georgia (3), Florida (2), Colorado (2), Michigan (1), and Arizona (1), with additional units mapped across roughly 10 total locations. The franchisor is independently owned, with no parent company disclosed in the 2026 FDD.
Who controls software purchasing
The 2026 FDD Item 1 identifies Shama Patel as Chief Executive Officer and Patrick Pantano as Chief Development Officer. In a system of this size, these two executives are the most likely software decision-makers. There is no CIO, CTO, or VP of Technology named in the filing. Vendors should expect a direct, founder-driven evaluation process rather than a layered procurement department. The absence of multi-unit franchisees means no franchisee advisory council or large operator bloc is likely to influence technology mandates from below.
Mandated and current tech stack
Clean Your Dirty Face mandates three named systems under Item 11: Mindbody by Mindbody, Inc., MindBody Online Software, and Shopify Ordering Appointment. These cover core operational and appointment-booking functions across all franchised locations. Any software that overlaps with or integrates into Mindbody or Shopify will need to demonstrate clear differentiation or complementary value. The FDD does not list additional recommended or optional technology vendors, suggesting a tightly controlled stack with little franchisee discretion.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 procurement language was not extracted in the available data, so the franchisor's formal supplier designation process remains undisclosed. Renewal terms under Item 17 require franchisees to give notice between 180 and 365 days before the 5-year agreement expires, and to sign the then-current Franchise Agreement, which may materially differ from the original. This creates a predictable 5-year cycle during which franchisees must bring locations into compliance with current System Standards—potentially including updated technology mandates. New unit openings, driven by 23% annual growth, offer additional entry points for software vendors targeting onboarding workflows.

It contains the franchisor's audited financials, Item 19 financial performance representations, the full list of mandated suppliers (if any), and the standard franchise agreement. Review Item 11 for the complete technology obligations and Item 8 for any procurement restrictions that may affect your sales motion.
