The vendor opportunity at The Scoop N Scootery Franchising
The Scoop N Scootery Franchising'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, which is worth reading in full for unit-economics context before outreach.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 names Austin Crittenden as Member. With all three units company-owned rather than franchised, this is the single decision-maker for any vendor pitch — there's no network of independent operators to route around.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Item 11 names three platforms — Postmates by Uber, QuickBooks by Intuit, and Uber Eats by Uber — but none of them is a contractual requirement. The FDD mentions all three without obliging the brand to use any of them, so a vendor pitching any of the three, or an alternative, isn't displacing an incumbent the filing has already locked in.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 requires franchisees to purchase from the franchisor, its designee, or suppliers the franchisor has approved, or according to franchisor specifications, off a provided Approved Vendors/Suppliers list; franchisees can propose an alternative supplier for approval. Item 17 sets a 10-year initial term, with renewal conditioned on advance notice, compliance with contractual obligations to the franchisor and third parties, renovation to then-current standards, and signing a new franchise agreement that may carry materially different terms.
