Hommati Franchise Network vs Town Square Franchising

Hommati gives us immediate volume. With 124 franchised locations, we can land a handful of deals inside a single quarter, validate the vertical, and build case studies—even at a modest AUV of $130K. The risk is churn: -3% unit growth means our pipeline isn't expanding, it's shrinking. We're raiding a pool that's getting smaller, and a $13K per-unit revenue base puts a hard ceiling on wallet share.

Town Square flips the equation. Nine units total is a tiny TAM, but $1.3M AUV signals deep enough pockets to buy a full stack—POS, scheduling, marketing, back-office—without flinching at price. The 14% growth tells us the concept is winning, so early deals become long-term, expanding accounts inside a rising network. The tradeoff is timing. We're betting on a sprinter with no track record at scale, and a $945K+ unit investment means franchisees have razor focus; they won't buy unless we prove ROI fast.

The dimension that wins here is budget depth paired with growth trajectory. Selling into Town Square's tiny base is painful today, but each closed logo carries 10x the contract value of a Hommati deal and sits inside a growing system. Hommati is a low-ACV volume play with a negative net-unit tail—useful for quick logos, toxic as a core bet.

Verdict: Town Square Franchising is the stronger software-sales opportunity because high AUV plus positive unit growth creates a small but expanding base of well-capitalized buyers, while Hommati's unit contraction erodes TAM quarter by quarter.
