Each of the personal computers and tablets discussed above must contain the computer software we require. The software is not proprietary to us. Some of the software will come preinstalled on a computer. For programs that are not preinstalled, you will need to purchase them and install them on your computer. You must obtain our required Gym operating software from our designated vendor, a license for our designated waiver platform(s), and use our designated vendor for digital signage services. You must use a texting-based system for communications with customers and prospective customers, the cost of which is currently included as part of your technology fee, although we may in the future require you to pay the vendor directly for this service. We also have preferred vendors for an employee scheduling and time tracking program, for payroll processing services, and for a personality assessment tool for use in employee recruiting efforts; these programs are currently optional although we reserve the right to require you use them. The ongoing cost for the computer software and services, including the three currently optional services described above, is approximately $800 to $1,000 per month, but may be higher depending on the number of customers maintained in your Gym’s database. You must renew your software licenses as required. In addition, you must obtain licenses for certain off- the-shelf software, including Microsoft Office and QuickBooks or other accounting software. You must also purchase the software required for a building security system, including camera surveillance, and Wi-Fi for customers at your Gym. The cost for this software and Wi-Fi will vary depending on the features and plans selected and the current Internet charges in your area, but should generally be between $125 and $250 per month. You must also pay to us our then-current Technology Fee for the provision of certain technology-related items or services, which is $200 per month as of the date of this Disclosure Document, plus an additional $50 per each modification to your Gym subpage beyond 1 per month, if any.

The vendor opportunity at Conquer Ninja
Conquer Ninja presents a classic early-stage franchise opportunity for software vendors. With just 12 total units—7 company-owned and 5 franchised—the system is small, but its 66.7% year-over-year unit growth signals a brand in active expansion mode. For a vendor, this is the moment to establish a relationship before the tech stack solidifies across a larger network. The brand is independently owned with no parent company on file, meaning decisions are made by a lean, accessible leadership team without layers of private-equity bureaucracy.
The average unit volume (AUV) is not disclosed in the most recent FDD, so vendors cannot benchmark against revenue-based metrics. The real play here is not current scale but trajectory: getting designated as a preferred or mandated vendor now could lock in a growing account for years.
Who controls software purchasing
Software purchasing authority sits squarely at the headquarters level. The 2025 FDD Item 1 lists three key executives: Jake Marshman, Chief Executive Officer and Governor; Zach Braid, Chief Operating Officer and Governor; and Benjamin Utecht, Chief Culture Officer. For a software sales pitch, the primary targets are Marshman and Braid. As CEO and COO respectively, they govern both strategic direction and day-to-day operations, making them the de facto buying center for any operational or financial technology.
There are no multi-unit operators mapped in our corpus, which reinforces the HQ-controlled dynamic. Without a layer of sophisticated franchisees making independent tech decisions, a vendor's path to adoption runs directly through this small corporate team. The absence of a parent company further simplifies the org chart: you are selling to the ultimate decision-makers, not subsidiary managers.
Mandated and current tech stack
The tech landscape at Conquer Ninja is defined by a few clear mandates and several open recommendations. According to the FDD, QuickBooks by Intuit Inc. is a mandated system, meaning every unit must use it for accounting. Additionally, designated waiver platform or platforms are mandated, though the specific vendor names for waivers were not extracted in our corpus. This creates an immediate barrier for competing accounting software but leaves the waiver platform space partially opaque—vendors in that niche should inquire directly about the current designation.
Beyond mandates, the franchisor recommends employee scheduling and time tracking programs, as well as payroll processing services. These are not required, which means franchisees may have discretion, but an HQ endorsement can drive adoption. A vendor selling workforce management or payroll software could position itself to become the recommended—or eventually mandated—standard, especially as the system scales and operational consistency becomes more critical.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Specific procurement restrictions from Item 8 were not extracted in our corpus, so we cannot confirm whether Conquer Ninja uses a strict designated-supplier model, an approved-supplier list, or an open procurement process for non-mandated categories. The existence of mandates for QuickBooks and waiver platforms suggests that for those categories, the model is designated. For recommended but non-mandated tech like scheduling and payroll, the field may be more open.
Timing a software pitch can hinge on the franchise lifecycle. The initial term is 7 years, and Item 17 outlines a renewal process that requires franchisees to upgrade their gym and update equipment to then-current standards. This contractual trigger means that every 7 years, franchisees face a capital expenditure event that could include software upgrades. With the system's recent rapid growth, many units are likely early in their initial terms, but vendors should monitor the first wave of renewals as a natural window for tech displacement.
How to read the Conquer Ninja FDD
The 2025 Conquer Ninja Franchise Disclosure Document is the definitive source for vendor due diligence. It contains the legal and operational blueprint of the franchise, including Item 11 (franchisor's assistance, advertising, computer systems, and training) where tech mandates live, and Item 8 (restrictions on sources of products and services) where procurement rules are detailed. The embedded viewer below provides the full text. For software vendors, the most actionable sections are the named systems in Item 11 and the executive roster in Item 1—these tell you what they buy and who signs the check. When you are ready to prioritize your outbound targets with precision, FranCloud can build you a ranked list based on real FDD data and franchise system momentum.
