From the filings
Software purchasing at Bravo Pizza is controlled at the headquarters level, with CEO Ken Fellus and Vice Presidents Michael Libretta and Stephen Fellus listed in the 2024 FDD. The chain mandates a POS system but does not name the vendor in its disclosure. With 12 company-owned locations and no franchised units reported, the addressable market is small but concentrated under direct HQ control.

Who buys here
The decision-maker a vendor sells to at this scale, and the gaps they’re paid to close, derived from our data by segment and unit count, not a guess.
The franchisee/operator personally, or a small franchisor still owner-run. Wears every hat.
Bravo Pizza operates 12 quick-service restaurant locations, all company-owned, with headquarters in New York. The 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document does not report any franchised units, meaning the entire system is under direct corporate control. For software vendors, this creates a concentrated sales target: a single buying center at HQ that governs technology decisions across all locations. The chain’s royalty rate is 5.0% on gross sales, and the initial franchise term is 10 years. Average unit volume is not disclosed in the most recent FDD.
The 2024 FDD Item 1 identifies four executives: Ken Fellus as CEO, Frank Libretta as Partner, Michael Libretta as Vice President, and Stephen Fellus as Vice President. With no franchised operators mapped in our corpus, all purchasing authority sits with this HQ team. Vendors should direct outreach to the CEO and Vice Presidents, as they are the likely decision-makers for any technology evaluation or procurement. There is no CIO or dedicated technology role named in the disclosure, so the executive group likely handles vendor selection collectively.
Bravo Pizza mandates POS System software across its locations, as stated in the FDD. The specific vendor is not named in the 2024 disclosure, which means the chain may be using a legacy system or has not publicly tied itself to a single provider. Beyond the POS mandate, no other operational or back-of-house technology requirements are disclosed. This leaves room for vendors in areas like inventory management, labor scheduling, online ordering, and loyalty platforms to make a case, provided they can demonstrate integration with the existing POS environment.
The FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so it is unclear whether Bravo Pizza uses designated suppliers, approved suppliers, or an open procurement model. Vendors should be prepared for a direct negotiation with HQ, where the lack of a formal procurement framework may mean longer sales cycles but also fewer pre-established vendor relationships to displace. On the renewal side, Item 17 outlines that franchisees may obtain up to two additional 5-year terms. Renewal conditions include advance notice, compliance with all obligations, renovation to then-current standards, and signing the then-current franchise agreement and related documents, including a personal guaranty and general release. These renewal windows are natural points when technology standards may be updated or re-evaluated.
The 2024 Bravo Pizza Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below for your review. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1 (executives), Item 11 (mandated technology), and Item 17 (renewal and transfer conditions). Because the chain is small and entirely company-owned, the FDD is less about franchisee obligations and more a window into how HQ structures its operations. Pay close attention to any updates in subsequent years, as a move toward franchising would change the addressable market and potentially the procurement dynamic.
