The vendor opportunity at Kid to Kid
Kid to Kid's 2026 FDD covers 120 US units — 100 franchised, 20 company-owned — under parent BaseCamp Franchising, alongside sibling brand Uptown Cheapskate. The FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation, and unit count held flat year over year.
Who controls software purchasing
All 103 mapped operators run a single location, concentrated in Texas (22), Utah (9), Georgia (8), Virginia (6), and Pennsylvania (6). Item 8 mandates Baseline system-wide, which puts that piece of the tech stack under headquarters and parent BaseCamp Franchising rather than any one store.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Item 8 mandates Baseline — the one required system in this filing. Intuit and QuickBooks are named at Item 11 as in use, meaning they appear in the filing without being required. Facebook, Google Ads, Instagram, LMN, and Pinterest are also named without a mandate.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 runs an approved-supplier-list model. The initial term is 10 years, with 5-year renewals that require good standing, current obligations, a remodel, a renewal fee, and refresher training.
