The vendor opportunity at Dos Toros Taqueria
Dos Toros Taqueria is a quick-service restaurant chain headquartered in New York, operating 22 total units as of its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. Of those, 20 are company-owned and just 2 are franchised. That ownership structure immediately defines the software sales opportunity: the addressable market for third-party vendors is effectively 2 franchised locations, unless you can sell into the corporate side. The brand’s average unit volume sits at $1,981,000, which is strong for the QSR segment and suggests that both company and franchised units generate enough revenue to justify software investments—if the decision-makers approve.
Because the franchised base is so small, any vendor targeting Dos Toros should view this as a niche, high-touch account rather than a volume play. The real question is whether the corporate office is open to adopting new tools that could then be pushed down to franchisees, or whether the 2 franchisees have any autonomy to buy independently. The FDD’s tech mandates point toward the former.
Who controls software purchasing
The 2025 FDD does not name specific HQ executives, but the chain’s mandated technology stack tells you where purchasing power sits. Toast is the required point-of-sale system, and Google Workspace is the mandated productivity suite. When a franchisor mandates specific platforms—especially a POS like Toast—it signals that technology decisions are centralized at headquarters. Franchisees are unlikely to have the freedom to choose alternative POS or core operational software without corporate approval.
For a software vendor, this means your pitch runs through the New York HQ. You are not selling to 2 independent franchisees; you are selling to a corporate team that controls the tech environment for the entire system. The absence of named executives in the FDD means you will need to do your own prospecting to identify the VP of Operations, Director of IT, or equivalent role, but the mandate structure confirms the decision-making level is HQ.
Mandated and current tech stack
Based on the 2025 FDD, Dos Toros mandates two specific technologies: Toast for point-of-sale and Google Workspace for productivity and collaboration. No other operational, back-office, or marketing platforms are disclosed as required or recommended in the current filing. That does not mean the brand uses nothing else—it simply means the FDD does not list additional mandated or recommended vendors.
For a software seller, the known stack creates both opportunities and obstacles. If you sell a product that integrates with Toast, you have a natural entry point, because the POS is already locked in across the system. If you compete with Toast or Google Workspace, you face an uphill battle against mandated incumbents. For everything else—scheduling, inventory, loyalty, delivery management—the FDD is silent, which means those categories may still be open, but you will need to confirm during discovery.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The 2025 FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement signal, so the brand’s purchasing model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not disclosed. That lack of transparency means vendors must ask directly about procurement rules during the sales process. You cannot assume an open market, nor can you assume a locked-down designated-supplier program.
On the renewal side, Item 17 provides some timing clues. The initial franchise term is 10 years, and franchisees in good standing may qualify for a successor franchise for another 10 years. To renew, the franchisee must request a business review, notify the franchisor at least 3 months before the term ends, demonstrate substantial compliance with brand standards, remodel or upgrade the restaurant, sign the then-current franchise agreement, and pay a $5,000 successor fee. With only 2 franchised units and no disclosed year-over-year unit growth, renewal-driven software evaluation windows will be rare. The corporate side may have its own budgeting and procurement calendar, but the FDD offers no visibility into that cycle.
How to read the Dos Toros FDD
The 2025 Dos Toros Taqueria FDD is the primary source for understanding the chain’s technology mandates, procurement rules, and contractual constraints. You can review the full document below. Pay particular attention to Item 11 for the franchisor’s obligations around technology and Item 17 for renewal and transfer conditions that might create software evaluation moments. Because the FDD does not disclose executive names or a detailed procurement model, you will need to supplement this document with direct outreach to the New York headquarters to build a complete picture of the buying process.
