The vendor opportunity at The White Bounce House
The White Bounce House operates 15 total units—14 franchised and 1 company-owned—as disclosed in its 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document. The brand is classified in personal services and is headquartered in North Carolina. No parent company is on file, indicating independent ownership. For software vendors, the unit count represents a small, concentrated target. Average unit volume (AUV) is not disclosed in the FDD, and year-over-year unit growth is not available.
Who controls software purchasing
Purchasing authority sits at the headquarters level. The 2024 FDD lists Cara DeFelice as President and Daniel DeFelice as Chief Finance Officer. Teresa Hoefl serves as Sales and Operations Manager. These three individuals form the likely buying center for any software evaluation. Vendors should direct initial outreach to the President and CFO, as financial and operational decisions appear centralized. No multi-unit operators are mapped in our corpus, reinforcing the HQ-controlled dynamic.
Mandated and current tech stack
The only mandated technology named in the 2024 FDD is Honey Book. No other POS, CRM, or operational platforms are disclosed as required or recommended. This suggests a lean tech stack, but also a potential gap that vendors can explore. If you sell complementary tools—such as scheduling, invoicing, or customer communication software—the absence of additional mandates may indicate an open evaluation environment, though procurement rules are not specified.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD, which typically outlines procurement restrictions and designated suppliers, was not extracted in our corpus. This means the formal procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly known. Vendors should be prepared for either a closed or open process and should inquire directly during discovery. Regarding contract timing, the initial franchise term length is not disclosed. Item 17 does specify that franchisees must sign a general release if they renew or transfer their franchise, but no term years are provided. Without a defined term, predicting renewal-driven software evaluation windows is not possible from the FDD alone.
How to read the The White Bounce House FDD
The 2024 FDD is embedded below for full review. It was filed with state franchise regulators and contains the legal and operational disclosures required under the FTC Franchise Rule. Key items for software vendors include Item 1 (executives), Item 8 (procurement), Item 11 (mandated systems), and Item 17 (renewal and transfer conditions). Because several data points—such as AUV, term length, and procurement model—are not disclosed, direct engagement with HQ may be necessary to fill those gaps.
