From the filings
Software purchasing at Yung De Jeng is controlled at the headquarters level by Chief Executive Officer Hsieh Chen-Yung and Chief Financial Officer Hsieh Wan-Ju. The most recent FDD does not disclose any mandated or recommended technology systems. With only one franchised unit in operation, the addressable market for vendors is extremely small.

Yung De Jeng operates in the financial services sector and, as of its 2026 FDD, consists of exactly one franchised unit. No company-owned locations are reported. The unit is in Wisconsin, and the operator footprint shows a single operator with no multi-unit owners. For a software vendor, the total addressable market within this franchise system is one location. There is no disclosed year-over-year unit growth, and the average unit volume is not stated in the FDD. This is a micro-system where any software sale would be a single-deal, HQ-driven conversation.
The FDD’s Item 1 identifies two executives: Hsieh Chen-Yung, Chief Executive Officer, and Hsieh Wan-Ju, Chief Financial Officer. In a system this small, both individuals are likely directly involved in any technology purchasing decision. There is no separate IT or procurement leadership disclosed. Vendors should expect to engage the CEO and CFO as the de facto buying center. The absence of a field organization or multi-unit franchisees means there is no distributed purchasing authority—all decisions run through headquarters.
The 2026 FDD does not list any mandated or recommended technology systems. No point-of-sale vendor, no accounting platform, no operational software is named. This does not necessarily mean the franchise uses no technology; it means the franchisor has not required specific systems as a condition of the franchise agreement. For a vendor, this is a blank-slate environment where the single franchisee or the HQ may be using ad hoc tools. Discovery would need to start from scratch, with no incumbent vendor to displace based on the public filing.
Item 8 of the FDD, which typically describes procurement obligations and designated suppliers, was not extracted in the available data. The procurement model—whether the franchisor designates suppliers, maintains an approved list, or leaves purchasing entirely open—is therefore unknown. On the renewal side, Item 17 provides more clarity. The Master Franchise Agreement runs for an initial term of five years and may be renewed three times, each for an additional five years. The renewal provision explicitly states that the renewal may require the franchisee to sign an agreement with materially different terms. These renewal events, occurring every five years, represent the most logical windows when the franchisor might introduce new technology requirements or renegotiate vendor relationships.
The full 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document is available below. It contains the legal and operational disclosures that govern the single franchised unit. Key sections for software vendors include Item 11 (franchisor’s obligations) for any technology mandates, Item 8 for procurement restrictions, and Item 17 for renewal and termination terms that shape the contract cycle. Because the system is so small, the FDD is the primary source of truth on how the franchisor controls operations and where a vendor might fit. For a ranked target list of franchise systems that match your software category, FranCloud can help you prioritize based on unit counts, tech mandates, and decision-maker access.
