The vendor opportunity at The Fresh Monkee Franchise The Fresh Monkee Franchise spans 37 units, 33 franchised and 4 company-owned, in the quick-service restaurant segment, with an average unit volume of $343,347 and unit count up 73.7% year over year in the 2026 FDD. Of the 59 mapped operators, each runs a single location, concentrated in Florida (10), Texas (9), Massachusetts (8), Connecticut (7), and Pennsylvania (4).
Who controls software purchasing Item 2 names Judith "Judy" Flynn as Founder and CEO, Annette "Annie" McCall-Silk as Director of Corporate Operations, Emily Bucior as Director of Franchise Operations, and Pablo Vidal Areán as Chief Marketing Officer — the corporate team setting technology mandates.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required Item 11 makes Toast mandatory for point-of-sale. Sysco is in active use, with the FDD describing a fee for it, making it an incumbent supply relationship rather than a contractual requirement. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Snapchat, and TikTok are named in Item 11 without any purchase requirement attached.
Procurement, renewals, and timing Item 8 sets an approved-supplier list: proprietary Fresh Monkee products, packaging, and recipes must come from the franchisor, the designated point-of-sale system must be leased or purchased through the franchisor, and CRM, social-media-analytics, and online and mobile ordering software must be the programs the franchisor designates. Franchisees may propose an alternate supplier for other items, subject to approval. The initial term is 10 years, with one additional 10-year term available for a $2,500 renewal fee and required site refurbishment or relocation. The FDD makes a financial performance representation, and the 73.7% year-over-year unit growth points to an active pipeline of new locations.
