The vendor opportunity at CHHJ Franchising
CHHJ Franchising operates 165 total locations, 159 of which are franchised and 6 company-owned. The brand’s average unit volume sits at $1,285,193.17, with a 7.0% royalty rate and a standard 10-year initial term. Year-over-year unit growth is negative at -14.5%, meaning the addressable unit count is contracting. For software vendors, the total addressable market is 165 units, but the real path in is through a single decision-making body at the franchisor level—not through individual franchisees.
The operator footprint is entirely single-unit: 25 mapped operators run roughly 25 located units, with no multi-unit operators on file. Top states by unit count are Texas (4), Kentucky (3), Florida (3), California (2), and Louisiana (2). This fragmented operator base reinforces HQ’s control over technology decisions.
Who controls software purchasing
Software purchasing authority sits at the franchisor. The 2026 FDD lists the following executives in Item 1: Omar A. Soliman (Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer), Nick Friedman (Co-Founder and Chairman), Roman Cowan (President), Kelsie Ackman (Chief Legal Counsel & Development Officer), and Travis Mellish (Vice President of Franchise Development and Legal Affairs). While no dedicated CIO or CTO is named, the VP of Franchise Development and Legal Affairs and the President are likely involved in vendor evaluation and mandate enforcement. Vendors should expect a centralized, top-down procurement process with legal and operational review.
Mandated and current tech stack
CHHJ Franchising mandates four technology systems, as disclosed in the FDD: ACUTE FS, HunkWare & Crew App, QuickBooks by Intuit Inc., and SLC. ACUTE FS and HunkWare & Crew App appear to cover field service and crew management, while QuickBooks handles accounting. SLC is listed as a separate mandated system, though its function is not detailed in the extract. No POS system is named, and no CRM, payroll, or marketing automation tools are disclosed. This stack leaves potential gaps for vendors in areas like customer communication, analytics, or HR tech—but any sale must navigate an existing set of required tools.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD contains no procurement extract, meaning the franchisor does not publicly disclose a designated supplier program, approved vendor list, or purchasing cooperative structure. This absence suggests an open procurement model for non-mandated categories, though any system that touches operations likely still requires franchisor approval.
Renewal conditions (Item 17) are detailed and strict. Franchisees must provide 180 to 240 days’ notice, have no defaults, meet then-current standards for new franchisees, attend all annual conventions, and sign the then-current franchise agreement—which may differ materially from the original. The renewal term is 10 years. These conditions create natural evaluation windows for software: as franchisees approach renewal, they may be required to adopt updated systems or comply with new tech mandates. With 159 franchised units and a contracting base, vendors should monitor renewal cycles and any shifts in mandated systems at the franchisor level.
How to read the CHHJ Franchising FDD
The 2026 CHHJ Franchising FDD is embedded below. It is filed with state franchise regulators and contains the full legal and operational disclosures, including Item 11 (franchisor’s obligations) where technology mandates typically appear, Item 8 (procurement restrictions), and Item 17 (renewal and termination). For software vendors, the most actionable sections are Items 1, 8, 11, and 17. Review these to confirm the current mandated stack, any supplier approval requirements, and the timing triggers for contract renewal or system changes.
If you are evaluating franchise brands to sell software into, FranCloud can surface the ones where your product fits the mandated stack or fills a disclosed gap—ranked by unit count, growth, and procurement openness.
