The vendor opportunity at Broadway Hot & Honey Chicken
Broadway Hot & Honey Chicken is a quick-service restaurant brand based in New Jersey, operating a single company-owned unit as of its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. The brand reports zero franchised locations, making this an early-stage concept with a total addressable market of one unit. For software vendors, that means the opportunity today is a single-location sale — but one with an average unit volume of $2,206,324, which signals healthy per-store economics that could attract franchisees if the brand begins to scale.
The royalty rate is 6.0% of gross sales, and the initial franchise term runs 10 years. Because there are no franchisees yet, the software buying center is entirely concentrated at the corporate level. Vendors who establish a relationship now may gain an incumbent advantage if and when the system expands.
Who controls software purchasing
The 2025 FDD does not name any HQ executives, so the identity of the decision-maker is not publicly disclosed. In a single-unit, founder-operated business, the owner or operating principal typically controls all technology purchasing — from POS and payroll to scheduling and inventory management. There is no indication of a multi-unit operator layer or a franchisee-driven buying process, because no franchised units exist. Vendors should approach the HQ directly and treat the sale as a founder-led, relationship-based engagement.
Mandated and current tech stack
The only technologies explicitly mandated in the FDD are Zoom and Microsoft Teams. No point-of-sale system, back-office platform, or operational software is listed as required. This suggests the brand is either using a minimal tech stack or has not yet standardized its technology requirements for future franchisees. For a vendor, this is a blank-slate environment: the brand may be open to evaluating new tools across the full operational spectrum, from POS to HR to customer engagement.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the procurement model — whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open market — is not disclosed. Without franchised units, there are no franchisee-level renewal cycles to track. The franchise agreement provides for a 10-year initial term, and renewal conditions require the franchisee to be in compliance, meet current standards, sign the then-current agreement, and provide notice between nine and 15 months before expiration. Because no franchise agreements are in effect, these renewal windows are not yet relevant. Vendors should monitor for any announcement of franchise sales, which would create a new set of buying opportunities at the unit level.
How to read the Broadway Hot & Honey Chicken FDD
The 2025 FDD is embedded below for full review. Key sections for software vendors include Item 11 (the franchisor’s obligations), which lists mandated technologies like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, and Item 17 (renewal and termination), which outlines the 10-year term and renewal conditions. Because the brand has only one company-owned unit and no franchised locations, the document is relatively lean, but it provides the foundational terms that will govern any future franchise relationships.
