Shot of Art

The vendor opportunity at Shot of Art

Shot of Art operates a very small, concentrated footprint of 4 total units, all of which are company-owned. The brand reported an Average Unit Volume (AUV) of $736,713.67 in its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. For a software vendor, the immediate addressable market is limited to these 4 locations. The royalty rate is set at 6.0%, and the initial franchise term is 5 years. Year-over-year unit growth data is not available in the current FDD, and no franchised units are reported, which means the entire system is under direct corporate control. This structure simplifies the sales process: there is a single buying entity rather than a dispersed network of franchisees.

Who controls software purchasing

All software purchasing authority rests with the headquarters team. The 2025 FDD lists three key individuals in Item 1: Co-Owner Ilya Kuzmin, Co-Owner Nadia Kuzmina, and Manager Kristina Bennett. As a small, independently owned operation with no parent company, these executives are the de facto technology decision-makers. Vendors should direct all outreach to this group, as there are no multi-unit operators or franchisee committees to influence the process.

Mandated and current tech stack

The FDD mandates a specific set of technology systems for the brand. These include a booking software platform, a combined booking/scheduling and POS software solution, a CRM system, and QuickBooks Online by Intuit Inc. for financial management. The exact vendors for the booking, POS, and CRM components are not named in the available data, but the mandate is explicit. Any vendor pitching a replacement or complementary tool must demonstrate clear integration capabilities with QuickBooks Online and the existing scheduling and POS framework.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The procurement model for Shot of Art is not detailed in the FDD. Item 8, which typically outlines designated or approved supplier requirements, provides no extract in the current filing. This lack of specificity means the brand may operate with an open procurement model, but vendors should verify this directly with the HQ team. Regarding contract timing, the initial franchise agreement term is 5 years. Item 17 indicates that a franchisee in good standing may add up to five successor terms of 5 years each, but the new agreement may have materially different terms, including higher royalty and advertising contributions. For a vendor selling into the corporate-owned system, these renewal cycles are less relevant, but they signal a long-term operational horizon. No recent unit growth or refranchising activity is reported, so software evaluation cycles may be ad hoc rather than tied to a predictable expansion schedule.
