The vendor opportunity at Everytable
Everytable operates 38 quick-service restaurant units, 36 of which are company-owned and only 2 franchised. The average unit volume sits at $484,793.67, with an 8.0% royalty rate and a 5-year initial franchise term. For software vendors, the addressable market is small but concentrated: nearly all locations are under direct corporate control, meaning a single HQ sale can cover the entire system.
The brand’s leadership team is lean. Sam Polk serves as Chief Executive Officer and Director, Jered Newell is Head of Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer, and Kaster D. Garrett holds the title of President and Franchise Program Launch Manager. No parent company is on file, and the operator footprint shows no mapped multi-unit operators in our corpus. This is an independently owned brand where decisions are made by a handful of executives.
Who controls software purchasing
Purchasing authority rests at the top. The FDD lists Sam Polk, Jered Newell, Kaster D. Garrett, Mario Garcia (Secretary and Business Advisor), and Dar Vasseghi (Director) as the key individuals. In a 38-unit chain with 36 corporate stores, the CEO and CFO are the natural entry points for any software pitch. There is no CIO or CTO named in the filing, which suggests technology evaluation may fall to the finance and operations leadership.
Because the franchisee base is negligible—just two locations—vendors should not expect a distributed buying process. The entire system can be influenced through a single relationship with the HQ team.
Mandated and current tech stack
The 2024 FDD does not capture any mandated or recommended technology systems. No POS vendor, no back-office platform, no delivery integration partner is disclosed. This absence of Item 11 signals means the current tech stack is either entirely proprietary, assembled ad hoc, or simply not documented for franchisee compliance.
For a vendor, this is both a challenge and an opening. You cannot reference an incumbent to unseat, but you also face no documented switching costs. Discovery calls with the CFO or President will be essential to map what is actually in use across the 36 company-owned stores.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 procurement signals are not available in our extract, so the formal purchasing model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open market—remains unknown. Vendors should prepare for a direct procurement process managed by finance.
Renewal timing offers a potential wedge. The franchise agreement runs for 5 years and can be renewed for one additional 5-year term, provided the franchisor has not withdrawn from the market. The renewal requires a new franchise agreement that may contain materially different terms, including fee changes, and a $20,000 renewal fee. While this applies to franchisees, the corporate stores may follow similar capital planning cycles. Aligning a software pitch with budget years or operational refresh cycles could improve your odds.
How to read the Everytable FDD
The full 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below. It was filed with state franchise regulators and contains the legal and financial disclosures required for franchise sales. For software vendors, the most relevant sections are Item 1 (the executives listed above), Item 11 (the franchisor’s obligations, where tech mandates would appear), Item 8 (procurement restrictions), and Item 17 (renewal and termination terms). Reviewing these sections will help you understand where Everytable is obligated to standardize—and where it is not.
