The vendor opportunity at Tee Box
Tee Box operates 5 company-owned fitness locations in Utah, on an 8.0% royalty, with an average unit volume near $281,960. Item 19 makes a financial performance representation. As a wholly corporate-run brand with no franchisees yet, this is a concentrated buying decision rather than a distributed one — get the corporate team on board and the entire network follows.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 names CEO Preston Unck, Chief Operations Officer Brian Godfrey, Chief Technology Officer Jeff Hansen, Chief Franchise Officer Devin Harper, and VP of Franchise Experience Jake Butler. With Chief Technology Officer as a named role and every location company-owned, this leadership group is the entire buying center.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
QuickBooks, under Item 7, and QuickBooks Online, under Item 11, are both mandated — every location must use them. Revel, under Item 11, is in use: the FDD describes it in operation without making it a contractual requirement. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and Yelp, under Item 11, and Stripe, under Item 6, are all named without a mandate.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 puts Tee Box on an approved-supplier list, with a provided list of approved suppliers and a path for franchisees to request approval of alternatives meeting specifications. Item 17 renewal requires the franchisee to be in good standing, pay a successor franchise fee, modernize to then-current standards, sign a general release, and execute the then-current franchise agreement, with notice due 6 to 12 months before the 10-year term expires.
