Broadway Hot & Honey Chicken

The vendor opportunity at Broadway Hot & Honey Chicken

Broadway Hot & Honey Chicken is a quick-service restaurant concept headquartered in New Jersey. According to its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the system consists of exactly one unit—a company-owned location. No franchised units are reported, and no year-over-year unit growth percentage is available. For software vendors, this means the total addressable market inside the brand today is a single restaurant. However, the brand’s reported average unit volume of $2,206,324.38 signals a high-revenue operating model that could attract franchisees if the franchisor begins active expansion. Vendors who engage early may position themselves as preferred or mandated suppliers before the system scales.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2025 FDD lists two executives in Item 1: Michael Kelleher, Chief Executive Officer, and Michael Falato, Chief Operations Officer. With no parent company on file and no franchised operator footprint mapped in our corpus, software purchasing authority almost certainly sits with this HQ leadership pair. In a single-unit, founder-led environment, the CEO and COO typically evaluate and approve all operational technology, from point-of-sale to back-office systems. Vendors should direct outreach to these individuals, recognizing that the buying process will be direct and relationship-driven rather than layered through a large procurement department.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2025 FDD mandates four categories of technology: kiosks, loyalty software, payroll software, and Sysco platforms. The disclosure does not name specific vendors for any of these mandates, which means the brand may be using in-house solutions, unbranded third-party tools, or simply requiring compliance without locking in a single provider. For a software vendor, this lack of named incumbents represents an opening—particularly in kiosk and loyalty, where differentiation is high and switching costs at a single unit are low. Payroll and Sysco platform mandates suggest the brand values operational integration with supply chain and workforce management, but the absence of named systems leaves the current stack partially opaque.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 of the FDD contains no procurement extract, so the brand’s purchasing model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly disclosed. Item 17 provides a detailed renewal framework: the initial franchise term is 10 years, and franchisees must give renewal notice between 9 and 15 months before expiration. Renewal conditions include compliance with all agreements, meeting current standards, satisfying monetary obligations, and signing the then-current franchise agreement, which may be materially different from the original. Because the system has no franchised units today, there are no active franchisee contract cycles to target. The first renewal window for any future franchisee would not open for at least eight to nine years after a franchise agreement is signed.

The full 2025 FDD is embedded below for direct review. Software vendors should focus on Item 11 (the source of the tech mandates listed here), Item 1 (executive identities), and Item 17 (renewal timing and conditions). Because Item 8 is silent, vendors will need to ask directly about procurement authority and approved-supplier processes during any sales conversation. The document was filed with state franchise regulators in 2025 and represents the most current public disclosure for this brand.
