Brain Tune Cafe

The vendor opportunity at Brain Tune Cafe

Brain Tune Cafe is a quick-service restaurant concept headquartered in Wyoming with 2 total units, both company-owned, according to its 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document. No franchised units are reported, and year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed. The operator footprint maps 7 operators across approximately 7 located units, with all falling into the single-unit band—no multi-unit operators are recorded. Top states by unit count are Washington (2), South Dakota (1), New York (1), Indiana (1), and Michigan (1). For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is the franchisor’s own two locations, with any future franchise sales representing incremental opportunity. The brand’s average unit volume is not disclosed in the FDD, and the royalty rate is 5.0% of gross sales.

Who controls software purchasing

Purchasing authority sits with the two co-owners listed in Item 1 of the 2024 FDD: Gurpreet Singh and Keerthy Sunder. As the franchisor’s leadership for a small, company-owned system, they are the sole decision-makers for technology selection and procurement. There is no parent company on file, and the brand appears independently owned. Vendors should direct all software pitches to the Wyoming headquarters, recognizing that Singh and Sunder personally evaluate any tools that would be mandated across the system or used at the corporate level.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2024 FDD mandates four specific technology components for franchisees. The point-of-sale system is Square by Block, Inc., described as the “Square point of sale system.” Additionally, the brand requires INFI Kiosk, a proprietary software program, and a designated franchise portal. These systems are mandatory under the franchise agreement, meaning any franchisee who joins the system must adopt this exact stack. For vendors selling complementary or replacement software, the presence of a proprietary program and a designated portal suggests the franchisor has already invested in custom or tightly controlled technology, which may create integration requirements or competitive barriers.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 of the FDD does not include a procurement extract, so the brand’s supplier designation model—whether designated, approved, or open—is not publicly known. Vendors should clarify directly with HQ whether they can sell to franchisees independently or must go through a franchisor approval process. The franchise agreement has a 10-year initial term with one additional 10-year renewal option. Renewal conditions require the franchisee to pay 25% of the then-current franchise fee, remain in compliance, and either retain the existing site or secure an alternative location acceptable to the franchisor. The franchisee must also refurbish or relocate as specified in the agreement and sign the then-current form of franchise agreement, which may differ materially from the original. These long cycles mean software switching opportunities may be infrequent unless triggered by new unit openings or system-wide technology updates.

How to read the Brain Tune Cafe FDD

The embedded PDF viewer below contains the full 2024 FDD filed with state franchise regulators. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1 (executive contacts), Item 11 (mandated technology systems), Item 8 (procurement restrictions, if any), and Item 17 (renewal and contract cycle terms). Because the brand has only 2 company-owned units and no franchised locations yet, the FDD provides a narrow but precise picture of the current technology environment and decision-making structure.
