The vendor opportunity at Woof Gang Bakery
Woof Gang Bakery operates 288 units, all of them franchised, with franchised-outlet growth of 22.034% year over year. Item 19 of the FDD makes a financial performance representation: franchisees open at least 13 months averaged $620,375, based on a 199-store cohort further broken down by 25, 37 and 49 months open. Corporate data maps 319 operators across roughly 319 located units, all single-unit, concentrated in FL (103), TX (56), NC (31), GA (27) and CA (14). For a vendor, the growth rate plus a fully franchised base means a widening pipeline of new-store technology setups.
Who controls software purchasing
Software purchasing runs through Woof Gang Bakery's headquarters. The Management System includes a point-of-sale program customized for the brand and may include other proprietary or customized software (the Designated Software), and franchisees must use it under the franchisor's standard-form license agreement. Woof Gang Bakery reserves the right to designate a single source for the Management System, any of its software or hardware components, or associated service — a right it or an affiliate may hold itself. Chief Operating Officer Tim Brueggemann and Chief Financial and Development Officer Joseph Marin lead franchise operations at headquarters.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Item 8 makes Franpos Inc. the designated supplier of the Designated Software and the related POS hardware; franchisees must purchase both from Franpos and keep them current with required updates, upgrades and maintenance. The required Management System also includes QuickBooks or similar accounting software. Woof Gang Bakery reserves a monthly Technology Fee of up to $300 to offset Management System costs, including website maintenance.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 runs on an approved-supplier list: certain private label inventory and the initial equipment package must come from Woof Gang Bakery or its designees, other equipment and supplies from approved suppliers meeting its specifications, and franchisees may propose an alternative supplier for approval. The royalty runs 7% of sales on a 10-year initial term, with one additional 10-year renewal available to franchisees in good standing for a fee equal to 50% of the then-current initial franchise fee. Woof Gang Bakery is part of GSP Woof Gang Holdco.
