The vendor opportunity at Cabo Fresh
Cabo Fresh operates 4 company-owned quick-service restaurant locations, with no franchised units as of the 2026 FDD. That makes the software addressable market extremely small: a single corporate entity with centralized purchasing. For vendors, the opportunity is not scale but depth — a tightly controlled tech stack with a designated-supplier model that could consolidate spend across all locations.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 names James DiVilio (President), Diana DiVilio (Vice President), James DiVilio II (Operations Director), and Anthony DiVilio (Operations Director). With no franchised operators, all software decisions flow through this corporate leadership group. The filing's Item 11 language reinforces that control: franchisees must provide any assistance required to integrate their POS with headquarters systems, and the franchisor may require a different POS system at any time, with franchisees obligated to purchase and implement it.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
The FDD's computer requirements clause names a specific stack: Aloha by NCR Voyix as the POS system, plus When I Work, Chef Tec, Cloud Cover, Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub, Ez Cater, Gatrack, Jotform, and SmartSign2go. The filing states franchisees must lease or buy and use a back-office PC, monitor, printer, between one and four POS terminals, and the related software including these named applications. The franchisor may require a different POS system at any time, and franchisees must then stop using the old system, purchase the new one, and sign any required license and maintenance agreements.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 establishes a designated-suppliers-only model. For any product or service the franchisor designates as approved, franchisees may not purchase from other suppliers. The franchisor may designate new or different approved suppliers, including itself or affiliates, at any time. The filing estimates that approximately 65% of initial purchases and 50% of ongoing operating costs flow through approved suppliers. Renewal terms under Item 17 allow a 10-year successor franchise, subject to a $25,000 renewal fee and the franchisor's then-current standards, but with no franchised units currently operating, renewal-driven software migrations are not an immediate trigger.

The embedded PDF below is Cabo Fresh's 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document. For software vendors, the critical sections are Item 8 (supplier restrictions), Item 11 (technology and training requirements), and Item 17 (renewal and transfer terms). The filing's own language on computer requirements is unusually specific about named applications, which gives vendors a clear map of the incumbent stack.
