The vendor opportunity at Cleanest Restaurant Group Franchise
Cleanest Restaurant Group Franchise operates 17 total units — 16 franchised and 1 company-owned — in the home services segment, with headquarters in New York. The system is small, but its technology and procurement requirements are centralized, making the franchisor the primary software buyer.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 of the FDD names Howie Lemon Jr. as President, Carolina Pereira-Lemon as Chief Operating Officer, Victor Cruz as Operation Manager, and Latisha Beck as Assistant Operation Manager. Because the franchisor designates required software and suppliers, purchasing authority sits at HQ rather than with individual franchisees.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Item 8 mandates QuickBooks Online by Intuit for franchisees. Item 11 requires a business management system designated by the franchisor, along with specific hardware: a desktop or notebook computer at the administrative office and an iPad or tablet with cellular internet for each service vehicle. The FDD estimates computer system costs at $2,292 to $3,084 depending on vehicle count. Credit card processing must use the franchisor's designated supplier and may integrate with a designated point-of-sale system.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 establishes an approved-supplier list. Franchisees must purchase source-restricted goods and services from approved or designated suppliers, and the franchisor may designate itself or affiliates as exclusive suppliers. The FDD estimates that designated-supplier purchases represent about 25% of ongoing operating costs. Initial terms run 5 years, and renewal requires 180 days' written notice, compliance with the current agreement, a renewal fee, and signing the then-current Franchise Agreement, which may contain materially different terms.
