Who controls software purchasing Jeffrey Cox serves as President, CEO and Director, with Jill O'Connor-Rumohr as Finance Director and CFO. N. Lee Moody II holds the title of Technical Development Coordinator and Trainer — the most direct technical buying contact named in the filing — alongside Marketing Director Tessa Hall and PDC Director John Chaisson III. With no multi-unit operators in the footprint, vendor decisions run entirely through this corporate team.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required The FDD names two systems, CoStar and SOCi, but requires neither of them.
Procurement, renewals, and timing Item 8 sets an approved-supplier model: equipment, tools, supplies and inventory must come from the franchisor, its affiliates, or suppliers on the Manual's approved list, though franchisees may request approval of an alternative supplier that meets specifications. Collection services must also come from the franchisor or an affiliate, unless the franchisee is authorized to collect within its own Designated Area. The initial term runs 5 years; a franchisee whose Designated Area gross sales rank in the top 20% of all development areas for the prior year, and who remains in full compliance, can extend for an additional 5 years.
