3 Natives
Quick service restaurant3 Natives' most recent FDD, from 2025, reports 41 locations — 34 franchised and 7 company-owned — at an average unit volume of $673,839, with unit count up 41.667% year over year, the clearest growth signal on this page. Item 1 names a technology owner outright: Jaclyn Bambino is Chief Technology Officer, alongside Anthony Bambino as Chief Executive Officer and Philip Bambino as Chief Financial Officer. The filing mandates no technology at all — Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, ShopKeep, Snapchat and Twitter are named in it, but none of them is required — so point of sale and marketing are open categories, not incumbent-held.

The vendor opportunity at 3 Natives
3 Natives is a quick-service restaurant brand headquartered in Florida, and the most recent FDD on file is from 2025. That filing reports 41 total locations, 34 of them franchised and 7 company-owned, with unit count up 41.667% year over year. Average unit volume is $673,839, the royalty is 6.0%, and the initial term runs 10 years. Forty-one units at that AUV imply roughly $27.6M of annual system volume. The growth rate is what matters for a vendor: a system adding units at better than 40% a year buys for the footprint it will have, not the one it has, and decisions taken now propagate across every store opened next.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 1 is unusually explicit for a system this size. Jaclyn Bambino is Chief Technology Officer — a named technology owner, which most brands at 41 units lack, and the person a software pitch should reach. Anthony Bambino is Chief Executive Officer and the signer; Philip Bambino is Chief Financial Officer; Brittney Scott is Director of Marketing, who owns the customer-facing side; and Joao “J.P.” Junqueira is Director of Construction, the role that specifies in-store systems at build-out. The brand is part of 3 natives holdco, though the nature of that parent relationship is not disclosed in the most recent FDD. Our operator mapping finds 50 operators, none of them multi-unit, across roughly 50 located units — more than the 41 the filing discloses, a difference worth reconciling — concentrated in Florida (39), with Oklahoma (4) and single units in Texas, Georgia and Wisconsin. With 34 of 41 units franchised, one owner per unit, and nothing mandated, buying authority is genuinely split between HQ and the operators.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
The 2025 FDD mandates no technology at all. Six systems appear in the document — Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, ShopKeep, Snapchat and Twitter — and each is named only, with nothing in the filing requiring anyone to adopt it. ShopKeep is the one to be careful about: it is a point-of-sale product, and its appearance here is evidence the drafter had it in mind, not evidence that it is installed or contractually required. Read plainly, this is the open case across the board — point of sale and payments, loyalty, back office, and marketing all sit uncommitted, with no contractual technology obligation written against an operator. A named CTO plus an open field is an unusual pairing: HQ is equipped to evaluate, and nothing is locked down yet.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 is where designated-supplier and approved-supplier requirements normally sit, and this filing produced no Item 8 extract, so whether 3 Natives runs a designated, approved, or open procurement model is not established by the data we hold. Item 17 is concrete: the initial term is 10 years, with one additional 10-year term available to an owner in good standing. Renewal costs 25% of the then-current initial franchise fee, subject to a minimum of $9,875, and requires advance written notice, no default, all monetary obligations to the franchisor and suppliers satisfied, a passed inspection, completed training, a remodel, and a general release. The remodel condition is the useful one: renewal here is a capital event, and capital events are when hardware and system refreshes get approved.
How to read the 3 Natives FDD
The 2025 document was filed with state franchise regulators, and the full PDF is embedded in the viewer below. Item 1 gives the executives named above and the entity chain up to 3 natives holdco; Item 8 covers supplier obligations; Item 11 covers computer systems and required technology, where the absence of any mandate can be confirmed; Item 17 covers renewal; Item 20 carries the unit tables behind the 41-unit count.

Questions vendors ask
3 Natives, answered from the filing
Item 1 names Jaclyn Bambino as Chief Technology Officer — a rare explicit technology owner at this system size, and the evaluator to reach. Anthony Bambino, Chief Executive Officer, is the signer; Philip Bambino is Chief Financial Officer; Brittney Scott, Director of Marketing, owns the customer-facing stack.
None. The 2025 FDD mandates no technology system. It names Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, ShopKeep, Snapchat and Twitter, but each is named only — the filing requires none of them. That includes ShopKeep, so point of sale should be treated as an open category rather than incumbent-held.
The 2025 FDD reports 41 locations, 34 franchised and 7 company-owned, in the quick-service restaurant segment, with unit count up 41.667% year over year. Our mapping places roughly 50 operators, none multi-unit, across 50 located units — Florida (39), Oklahoma (4), Texas, Georgia and Wisconsin (1 each).
Not established. Item 8 — where designated-supplier and approved-supplier requirements live — produced no extract from this filing, so we cannot say whether the model is designated, approved, or open. The clearest signal we hold is that the filing mandates no technology at all.
The initial term runs 10 years, with one additional 10-year term available. Renewal costs 25% of the then-current initial franchise fee, minimum $9,875, and requires advance notice, no default, a passed inspection, completed training, a remodel and a general release. That remodel is a capital event where system refreshes get approved.
It was filed with state franchise regulators in 2025, and the full PDF is embedded in the viewer below. Read Item 1 for executives and the entity chain, Item 8 for supplier obligations, Item 11 for computer systems, Item 17 for renewal, and Item 20 for the unit tables.
