The 2026 FDD does not disclose any mandated or recommended technology systems, leaving the current tech stack undefined for vendors. With 16 franchised units and no company-owned locations on file, the addressable market is small but concentrated under a single buying center in California.

Who buys here
The decision-maker a vendor sells to at this scale, and the gaps they’re paid to close, derived from our data by segment and unit count, not a guess.
The franchisee/operator personally, or a small franchisor still owner-run. Wears every hat.
Daisyco Franchising operates 16 franchised home-services units, all based in the US with headquarters in California. The 2026 FDD reports no company-owned locations, meaning every unit is a franchisee — but purchasing control appears centralized at HQ. For software vendors, the addressable market is exactly 16 locations, with no disclosed year-over-year unit growth. This is a small, stable footprint where a single deal with headquarters could cover the entire system. The royalty rate is 10.0%, and the initial franchise term runs 10 years, giving vendors a long horizon if they can secure a system-wide agreement.
The 2026 FDD Item 1 names five HQ executives: CEO Hagan Kappler, Chief Growth Officer Douglas Persson, GM for Southern California Steve Stary, Franchise Sales and Success Leader Gavin Lantzy, and Head of Franchise Operations Brian Wiersma, DBA, PMP. No field-level operators are mapped in our corpus, which reinforces a top-down purchasing model. The most likely software buyer is Brian Wiersma, given his operational remit, with final approval likely resting with the CEO. Vendors should target this concentrated HQ group rather than individual franchisees, as no operator autonomy is evident.
The 2026 FDD does not disclose any mandated or recommended technology systems. There are no named POS vendors, no operational platforms, and no IT mandates captured in the document. This absence is itself a signal: Daisyco Franchising either has no standardized tech stack or chooses not to publish it. For a vendor, this means the current technology environment is a blank slate. You will need to discover existing tools during the sales process and be prepared to pitch a full replacement or first-time implementation.
Item 8 of the FDD provides no extract on procurement — there is no designated supplier list, no approved vendor program, and no purchasing cooperative described. This suggests an open procurement model where decisions are made informally at HQ. Renewal conditions under Item 17 require franchisees to give 180 days' written notice, settle all monetary obligations, sign a general release, and execute the then-current franchise agreement for another 10-year term. These renewal windows, scattered across the 16-unit system, may create periodic opportunities to introduce new software as franchisees update to current standards. However, with no unit growth disclosed, net-new location openings are not a near-term pipeline driver.
The 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document is the primary source for all data points above. It is filed with state franchise regulators and available in full below. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1 (executives and ownership), Item 8 (procurement restrictions), Item 11 (franchisor assistance, where tech mandates would appear), and Item 17 (renewal and termination). Because no parent company is on file, Daisyco Franchising appears independently owned, which may simplify decision-making. For a ranked target list of franchise systems matched to your software category, FranCloud can help you prioritize where to focus next.
