ANDA BOBA TEA
Quick service restaurantSoftware purchasing at ANDA BOBA TEA is controlled at the headquarters level by President Alexander Lang Chih Chen. The brand operates a tiny, tightly held system of 6 total units (2 franchised, 4 company-owned) with no mandated technology stack disclosed in the 2026 FDD. For a SaaS vendor, the addressable market is exceptionally small—just 2 franchised locations—but the direct access to a single decision-maker may appeal to vendors seeking early-stage relationships.

The vendor opportunity at ANDA BOBA TEA
ANDA BOBA TEA is a quick-service restaurant concept with a total footprint of just 6 units—4 company-owned and 2 franchised—spread across California and Michigan. For a software vendor, the addressable market is the 2 franchised locations, as company-owned units typically fall under centralized HQ procurement without a separate sales cycle. The brand is independently owned, with no parent company on file, and is led by President Alexander Lang Chih Chen. Average unit volume is not disclosed in the 2026 FDD. The royalty rate is 4.0%, and the initial franchise term is 3 years.
This is a very small, early-stage system. Vendors should weigh the limited unit count against the potential for a direct relationship with the sole decision-maker. There are no multi-unit operators in the system; the two mapped operators each control a single location.
Who controls software purchasing
All purchasing authority appears to rest with President Alexander Lang Chih Chen. The 2026 FDD lists no other executives, no IT leadership, and no procurement committee. With only 6 total units and a single named officer, the buying center is effectively one person. Vendors should prepare for a direct, founder-led sales conversation rather than a layered enterprise procurement process.
Mandated and current tech stack
The 2026 FDD does not capture any mandated or recommended technology systems. There is no named POS vendor, no required back-office platform, and no specified online ordering or delivery integration. This absence of mandates means franchisees may select their own tools—or that the franchisor has not yet formalized a tech stack. For a vendor, this represents either a greenfield opportunity or a signal that technology is not yet a priority for the system.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD provides no extract on procurement requirements, so the brand does not appear to operate a designated-supplier or approved-supplier program. Franchisees may have broad discretion in vendor selection. Renewal terms under Item 17 require written notice at least 120 days before the end of the existing 3-year term, along with execution of a new franchise agreement (which may have materially different terms), a potential remodel, and a renewal fee. With only 2 franchised units, renewal-driven software evaluation cycles will be infrequent and highly individualized.
How to read the ANDA BOBA TEA FDD
The 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document is the authoritative source for the facts above. It is filed with state franchise regulators and available for review below. Key items for software vendors include Item 1 (the single named executive), Item 8 (no procurement restrictions captured), Item 11 (no mandated tech), and Item 17 (the 3-year renewal cycle with 120-day notice). Because the system is so small, the FDD is the best—and nearly only—window into how this franchisor operates. For a ranked target list of franchise systems that match your software category, FranCloud can help.
