Belgo Franchisor

The vendor opportunity at Belgo

Belgo operates as a quick-service restaurant concept with a total of 10 units, all of which are company-owned. The number of franchised locations was not disclosed in the 2022 Franchise Disclosure Document. With an average unit volume of $1,053,897 and a 6.0% royalty rate, the system is small but generates meaningful per-location revenue. For a software vendor, the opportunity lies in a tightly controlled environment where a single headquarters team makes purchasing decisions for every location.

The brand’s unit growth year-over-year was not reported, and no parent company is on file, indicating it is independently owned. The operator footprint shows no multi-unit operators mapped in our corpus, reinforcing that all buying power sits with the corporate entity in Colorado.

Who controls software purchasing

Decision-making authority rests at the headquarters level. The FDD lists Thomas DeGeest as Manager of the Parent entity, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Operating Officer. This concentration of titles suggests DeGeest is the primary gatekeeper for any software evaluation or procurement. Rossanna Figuera is listed as Manager of the Parent and may be involved in administrative or financial approvals.

Two additional names appear in the operations support functions: Alfredo Molina, Operations Support & Training Manager, and Samuel Ricardo Omana, Operations Support & Design Manager. While neither holds a technology-specific title, their roles in training and store design mean they likely influence tools that affect frontline workflows, onboarding, and physical-location technology. A vendor pitching operational software should expect to engage DeGeest and potentially one or both of these managers during a discovery process.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2022 FDD mandates two technology systems. The point-of-sale environment is locked into Square Food & Beverage POS, provided by Block, Inc. This is a required system, meaning any POS-adjacent or integration-dependent software must work within the Square ecosystem. The second mandated system is Harri/Carri, a talent management technology application. This covers workforce-related functions and is also required for franchisees.

No other mandated or recommended technology systems were disclosed in the available FDD extract. Vendors offering complementary solutions in areas like inventory, loyalty, delivery aggregation, or business intelligence would need to demonstrate seamless integration with Square and Harri/Carri to be considered.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD extract does not include Item 8 procurement signals, so the broader purchasing model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—remains unclear beyond the two mandated technology vendors. Similarly, Item 17 renewal conditions were not disclosed, and the initial franchise term length is not available in the data. This lack of visibility makes it difficult to predict natural contract windows or renewal-driven evaluation cycles.

Given the small unit count and HQ-controlled structure, procurement is likely relationship-driven rather than RFP-based. A vendor’s best path is direct outreach to the CEO/COO with a clear value proposition tied to the existing Square and Harri/Carri infrastructure.
