The vendor opportunity at Chocolate Bash
Chocolate Bash is a quick-service restaurant brand headquartered in California, showing aggressive expansion with 16 total units and a 62.5% year-over-year unit growth rate. For software vendors, this is a small but rapidly scaling target. The brand operates a mix of 13 franchised and 3 company-owned locations. While the average unit volume (AUV) is not disclosed in the most recent FDD, the growth trajectory signals a system actively onboarding new operators who will need to deploy the mandated technology stack from day one. The initial franchise term is 10 years, with a 6.0% royalty rate.
Who controls software purchasing
Software purchasing is tightly controlled at the brand headquarters. The FDD lists Rasha Albasha as CEO and Moises Hernandez as Franchise Consultant. In a system of this size, the CEO is the central decision-maker for all technology mandates and vendor partnerships. There is no parent company on file, indicating Chocolate Bash is independently owned. Vendors should direct their pitch to the CEO, focusing on how their solution integrates with or enhances the existing mandated stack to support the brand's rapid scaling. No multi-unit operators are mapped in our corpus, reinforcing the HQ-centric buying model.
Mandated and current tech stack
The technology landscape at Chocolate Bash is fully mandated, leaving no room for franchisee-level discretion. The core operational system is Toast POS by Toast, Inc., which is required along with specific, unnamed required apps. For customer engagement and loyalty, Incentivio is mandated. Financial management is standardized on QuickBooks by Intuit Inc. and a Related Bookkeeping System. This creates a clear integration map for vendors: any new software must complement or connect to this Toast-Incentivio-QuickBooks ecosystem. The mandate is absolute, meaning a successful sale to HQ unlocks deployment across the entire system.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The specific procurement model, such as whether Chocolate Bash uses designated or approved suppliers, is not disclosed in the Item 8 extract of the most recent FDD. However, the renewal conditions in Item 17 provide timing insights. To renew, a franchisee must sign the then-current form of franchise agreement, which will include the technology mandates in effect at that time. This creates a natural contract window for technology refreshes or new mandates as the initial 10-year terms begin to expire. The most immediate opportunity, however, lies with the onboarding of new franchisees as the system continues its rapid expansion.
