Two franchise systems, side by side. For a software vendor, they are not the same opportunity.

Nothing Bundt Cakes
wins 4 of 12 vendor rows

Nothing Bundt Cakes is the play. Total addressable market (660 units, 643 franchised, and 18.6% unit growth) dwarfs the five-unit, zero-franchisee footprint of Chill-N. Annual unit revenue of $1.48M means more budget per location for software that drives revenue or cuts labor, even after factoring in higher royalty and ad fund contributions. When we’re building pipeline, raw door count and expansion velocity make the math unassailable—franchise sales cycles convert in volume when new stores open continuously.

Yes, the terrain tradeoff is real: franchisor-controlled procurement locks us into a single-threaded corporate sale instead
