HQ-led decisions
Scissors & Scotch
Personal servicesSoftware purchasing at Scissors & Scotch is controlled at the headquarters level by the co-founders and operations leadership. The franchise mandates Mission Moonshot, LLC (M2) as its technology platform, which shapes the stack for all 28 locations (16 franchised, 12 company-owned). With an average unit volume of $967,630.64 and a concentrated decision-making structure, the addressable market is small but tightly controlled—ideal for vendors who can integrate with or replace the mandated system.

- With 298 active personal services brands, I can't see which ones are growing or have the tech gaps my product fills, so I waste weeks chasing the wrong targets.A rep burning 10 hours/week on manual research at $50/hr loses $26,000/year.

The vendor opportunity at Scissors & Scotch
Scissors & Scotch is a personal-services franchise operating 28 locations—16 franchised and 12 company-owned—with headquarters in Missouri. The brand is part of S & S Franchise Holdings, LLC. For software vendors, the opportunity is defined by a small but high-AUV footprint: average unit volume sits at $967,630.64, and the royalty rate is 4.0%. That per-unit revenue strength means operators can justify technology spend, but the total addressable unit count is just 28, and year-over-year unit growth was -20.0%. Vendors should weigh the high per-unit value against a contracting system.
Who controls software purchasing
Purchasing authority sits at HQ. The 2024 FDD lists Erik Anderson, Tanner Wiles, and Sean Finley as Co-Founders and Managing Members. Kyle Raney serves as Vice President of Operations and Support, and Brandi Busboom is Director of Grooming Operations. In a system this size, the co-founders and VP of Operations are the likely software decision-makers. There are no multi-unit operators mapped in our corpus, so franchisee influence on tech decisions appears minimal. If you sell software, your pitch runs through the HQ team, not a dispersed operator base.
Mandated and current tech stack
Scissors & Scotch mandates one named technology system: Mission Moonshot, LLC (M2). The FDD does not disclose additional POS, scheduling, CRM, or financial platforms. This single-vendor mandate means the existing stack is narrow and controlled. For vendors selling complementary tools—analytics, marketing automation, HR, or inventory—the integration path runs through M2. For those selling competitive platforms, you would need to displace a mandated system at the franchisor level, which is a high-barrier sale.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the formal supplier designation process—whether designated, approved, or open—is not disclosed. Renewal terms in Item 17 require franchisees to give at least seven months’ notice, repair and update equipment and premises, satisfy all monetary obligations, pay a renewal fee, and execute the then-current Franchise Agreement. The initial term is 10 years. With a shrinking unit count and long contract cycles, new software evaluation windows are likely rare and tied to HQ-driven initiatives rather than franchisee-level churn.
How to read the Scissors & Scotch FDD
The 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below. It contains the full legal and operational disclosures filed with state franchise regulators. For software vendors, the most relevant sections are Item 11 (franchisor’s obligations), which names the mandated M2 system, and Item 17 (renewal), which outlines the timeline and conditions that can trigger technology reevaluations. If you are building a target account list for personal-services franchises, Scissors & Scotch represents a small, HQ-controlled opportunity where the tech stack is already defined—but not necessarily closed to adjacent tools. For a ranked list of similar franchise targets, FranCloud can map the full landscape by tech mandate, decision-maker concentration, and unit economics.
Questions vendors ask
Scissors & Scotch, answered from the filing
Co-Founders Erik Anderson and Tanner Wiles, along with VP of Operations Kyle Raney, form the core buying center. Director of Grooming Operations Brandi Busboom may influence operational tool decisions.
The 2024 FDD mandates Mission Moonshot, LLC (M2) as the technology platform. No other specific POS, scheduling, or operational vendors are disclosed in the filing.
There are 28 total units—16 franchised and 12 company-owned. Year-over-year unit growth declined by 20%, so the footprint is contracting.
The FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so whether they use designated suppliers, approved suppliers, or an open model is not disclosed in the most recent filing.
With 10-year initial terms and a renewal requiring 7 months’ notice, contract windows are infrequent. The recent -20% unit growth suggests near-term expansion pauses, but renewals may still trigger evaluation cycles.
The 2024 FDD is filed with state franchise regulators. You can read it directly in the embedded PDF viewer below—no need to request it from a separate depository.
