The vendor opportunity at The Scoop N Scootery
The Scoop N Scootery's 2025 FDD covers three company-owned units in the quick-service restaurant segment, at a 5% royalty and a 10-year term. The filing makes a financial performance representation worth reading directly for unit-economics context.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 names Austin Crittenden as Member. With all three units company-owned, this is the single decision-maker for any vendor pitch. One mapped operator runs roughly one located unit, in Wisconsin — a small, concentrated footprint.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Item 6 shows Postmates by Uber and Uber Eats by Uber already in use for delivery — the FDD describes them in use and charges a fee for them, though neither is a contractual mandate. Item 11 separately names QuickBooks by Intuit, again without requiring it. A vendor targeting delivery infrastructure is working around two active incumbents; a vendor targeting back-office software is working around none.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 requires franchisees to purchase from the franchisor, its designee, or approved suppliers, or per franchisor specifications, with the option to propose an alternative supplier for approval. Item 17 sets a 10-year initial term, and renewal requires advance notice, compliance with all contractual obligations to the franchisor and third parties, renovation to then-current standards, and signing a new franchise agreement and related documents.
