From the filings

BeaverTails

Quick service restaurant

BeaverTails operates 2 franchised units, and the FDD makes no financial performance representation for the 2025 filing year. Item 8 ties several proprietary ingredients and toppings to the franchisor or its affiliates, but the filing names no specific software system. For a vendor, this is an early-stage system best approached through the co-founders directly.

For software vendors selling into US franchise brands.
