3 Natives

The vendor opportunity at 3 Natives

3 Natives is a quick-service restaurant brand headquartered in Florida, operating 41 total units as of its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. Of those, 34 are franchised and 7 are company-owned, with a year-over-year unit growth rate of 41.667%. The average unit volume sits at $673,839, and the royalty rate is 6.0% on a 10-year initial term. For software vendors, the addressable market is 41 locations—a compact footprint that may appeal to vendors targeting emerging chains with centralized technology decisions.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2025 FDD lists five executives in Item 1, and the technology buying center is clearly concentrated at headquarters. Jaclyn Bambino serves as Chief Technology Officer, making her the most direct point of contact for software evaluations. Anthony Bambino, the Chief Executive Officer, and Philip Bambino, the Chief Financial Officer, are also named, suggesting that larger or financially impactful software decisions may involve multiple C-suite stakeholders. There is no operator footprint mapped in our corpus, which further reinforces a headquarters-driven purchasing model rather than multi-unit owner autonomy.

Mandated and current tech stack

3 Natives mandates a specific set of technology systems across its network. The POS is Toast by Toast, Inc., and Shopkeep is also mandated, along with Shopkeep Back Office. Additionally, the brand requires franchisees to use a custom 3 Natives app and a 3 Natives rewards program. An MIS System is listed as mandated, though the specific vendor for that system is not named in the FDD extract. Vendors selling complementary or replacement solutions should note that Toast and Shopkeep are deeply embedded and would require a displacement strategy.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the formal procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not disclosed in the most recent filing. On renewals, Item 17 provides a clear window: franchisees in good standing may renew for one additional 10-year term, subject to a renewal fee of 25% of the then-current initial franchise fee (minimum $9,875), along with conditions including a remodel, training, and a general release. This renewal cycle, combined with the brand’s rapid unit growth, may create periodic openings for software vendors to engage when franchisees are refreshing their operations.
