Dripology

The vendor opportunity at Dripology

Dripology operates a single company-owned location in Florida, with no franchised units reported in the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. The brand’s total unit count stands at one, and year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed. For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is this single unit, controlled entirely at the headquarters level. The royalty rate is 6.0%, and the initial franchise term is 10 years, with renewal terms also set at 10 years. Average unit volume (AUV) is not disclosed in the FDD.

Because the system has not yet scaled through franchising, any software sale would need to align with the co-owners’ current operational priorities. The absence of multi-unit operators and the concentration of all units in Florida mean that a vendor’s entry point is narrow and relationship-dependent.

Who controls software purchasing

Software purchasing authority rests with Dripology’s three co-owners: Amin Afshari, Hamed Afshari, and M. Mike Nassar. The FDD does not list a separate chief information officer, chief technology officer, or procurement manager. Vendors should expect that any pitch for operational, financial, or marketing software will be evaluated and approved directly by this ownership group. There is no indication of a parent company or outside private equity influence, as Dripology appears independently owned.

Mandated and current tech stack

Dripology’s 2025 FDD mandates four specific technology systems. Boulevard is required for operational workflows. Intuit QuickBooks, specifically QuickBooks Online by Intuit Inc., is mandated for accounting. Square by Block, Inc. is mandated for point-of-sale and payment processing. These mandates cover the core operational, financial, and transaction stack, leaving no flexibility for franchisees—or the single company-owned unit—to substitute alternatives. Any vendor selling adjacent or complementary software must integrate with or sit alongside these mandated platforms.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so Dripology’s procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly known. Renewal conditions, outlined in Item 17, allow a franchisee who has substantially complied with the agreement to renew for additional 10-year terms, provided they give written notice, sign a new agreement and release, pay a renewal fee, and refurbish or remodel the premises and replace equipment to meet then-current standards. The new agreement may contain materially different terms, including fees and territorial rights. For vendors, this means that even at renewal, the franchisor can reset technology requirements, potentially opening a window for new software adoption—though with only one unit, such events are rare.

How to read the Dripology FDD

The full 2025 Dripology Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below. It contains the legal and operational disclosures that govern the franchise relationship, including Item 11 (franchisor’s assistance, advertising, computer systems, and training) where the mandated technology systems are listed, and Item 17 (renewal, termination, transfer, and dispute resolution) where renewal conditions are spelled out. Reviewing these sections will give software vendors the clearest picture of where their products might fit—or where they are locked out by existing mandates.
