The vendor opportunity at CPK Franchise
CPK Franchise presents a concentrated, HQ-driven sales target for software vendors. With 121 total units—107 company-owned and just 14 franchised—the addressable market is small but growing at 16.7% year-over-year. The brand operates as a quick-service restaurant under CPK Holdings Inc., with a footprint spanning Hawaii (14 units), California (10), Nevada (7), Missouri (7), and Utah (7). For vendors, the key dynamic is clear: corporate mandates dictate the tech stack, so winning HQ approval is the only path to franchisee adoption.
Who controls software purchasing
Purchasing authority rests at the headquarters level. The FDD mandates specific systems, leaving franchisees with no autonomy to choose alternatives. While the FDD does not name individual executives, the parent company structure—CPK Holdings Inc.—suggests decisions flow through centralized operations or IT leadership. The operator footprint shows 10 mapped operators, 7 of whom are multi-unit, controlling approximately 52 located units. This concentration means a single HQ relationship can unlock multiple locations, but the small franchisee base (14 units) limits total deal size.
Mandated and current tech stack
The 2026 FDD mandates two systems: NCR Aloha POS System and OneDine. No other recommended or mandated technology is disclosed. This creates a clear integration landscape for vendors—any proposed solution must complement or enhance these existing platforms. The absence of listed back-office, HR, or inventory systems may signal an opportunity, but vendors should verify current stack components directly with HQ, as the FDD provides no further detail.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Procurement rules are not detailed in the FDD; Item 8, which typically outlines designated or approved supplier requirements, was not extracted. This leaves the supplier onboarding process opaque. On renewals, Item 17 offers two 5-year renewal terms, contingent on substantial compliance, no more than two defaults in any 12-month period, and a $5,000 renewal fee. Franchisees must provide 18 months' written notice, creating a long lead time for vendors to engage before contract decisions. With a 10-year initial term and recent unit growth, renewal cycles are likely staggered, but the small franchise count means few opportunities annually.

Questions vendors ask
CPK Franchise, answered from the filing
HQ controls purchasing, as evidenced by mandated NCR Aloha POS and OneDine. Specific executive buyers are not listed in the FDD, but decisions likely involve operations or IT leadership at the parent company, CPK Holdings Inc.
The 2026 FDD mandates NCR Aloha POS System and OneDine. No other mandated or recommended systems are disclosed, leaving potential gaps for complementary solutions that integrate with these platforms.
There are 121 total units: 107 company-owned and 14 franchised. This is a small, quick-service restaurant chain with a predominantly corporate footprint, concentrated in HI, CA, NV, MO, and UT.
The FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the designated vs. approved supplier model is unknown. Vendors should inquire directly about how to become an approved technology provider for the system.
Renewal terms are two 5-year options, requiring 18 months' notice. With a 10-year initial term and recent unit growth, contract cycles may be staggered. Monitor franchisee renewal timelines for potential openings.
The 2026 FDD is filed with state franchise regulators. You can review the embedded PDF viewer below for full details on Item 11 tech mandates, Item 17 renewals, and unit counts.
