The vendor opportunity at Golf Envy Golf Envy is a California-based golf-entertainment franchise with 3 locations — 1 franchised, 2 company-owned — on an 8% royalty and a 10-year term. The FDD makes a financial performance representation.

Who controls software purchasing Item 2 names Founder and Chief Executive Officer Ryan Wines, Chief Operating Officer Cole Arranaga, and Vice President of Franchise Development Richard Collins. Golf Envy is part of Zeze Holdings, and this executive team has already mandated one system across every location.

Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required QuickBooks Online by Intuit is mandated under Item 7 — a contractual obligation, not a suggestion. No other named system appears in the filing.

Procurement, renewals, and timing Item 8 runs an approved-supplier list: franchisees use only approved suppliers meeting the franchisor's criteria, and the franchisor can designate a single required supplier for any item at any time. Franchisees may propose an alternative supplier by submitting specifications and paying an evaluation fee, though the franchisor makes the final call. Item 17 renewal requires 180-270 days' notice, full compliance with mandatory System Standards, a renewal fee, and the then-current franchise agreement — that renewal point is the natural pitch window.
