The vendor opportunity at Cloudbound
Cloudbound is a youth-services franchise with 0 total units, 0 franchised, and 0 company-owned locations reported in its 2026 FDD. That makes it a greenfield opportunity: the franchisor is building its Technology System and approved-vendor list before franchisees open. The FDD makes no financial performance representation under Item 19.
Who controls software purchasing
Software purchasing is centralized at the franchisor level. The FDD states franchisees "must use in the development and operation of the Park the management system and computer hardware and software and related technology designated by us." Joe Tenczar is Chief Information Officer of CTH and CFG, and David Hoffmann is CEO of CTH. Franchisees must execute and pay for any software license agreements the franchisor or licensor requires.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
The FDD requires franchisees to use the franchisor-designated Technology System, which includes a POS System. The filing names Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, Twitter, Yelp, and YouTube in Items 11 and 12, but does not state that any of them are required. The Technology System must support purchase orders, attendance, customer information, inventory, contact management, and membership contracts. Franchisees may be required to invest in new payment methods, monitors, music, Internet TV, surveillance, e-learning, and management software at their own expense.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Cloudbound uses an approved-supplier list. Franchisees must buy designated items from approved suppliers, including attractions and replacement parts from affiliates CBH and Sky Zone, LLC. The franchisor and its affiliates reserve the right to be the only approved supplier of the Technology System. For non-designated items, franchisees may propose alternative suppliers for approval. Renewal terms are 10 years, with six to twelve months' notice required and the possibility of a materially different successor agreement.
