Flamin Feathers

The vendor opportunity at Flamin Feathers

Flamin Feathers is a quick-service restaurant brand headquartered in New Jersey, operating 3 company-owned locations as disclosed in its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. The brand reports an average unit volume of $1,182,188. No franchised units are recorded, and year-over-year unit growth is not available in the current filing. For software vendors, the total addressable market is limited to these 3 units, all controlled from the corporate office. The absence of a franchisee base means any sales motion targets a single buying center at HQ.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2025 FDD identifies three executives in Item 1: Muhammad Darr serves as CEO, Qamar Abbas as Chief Operations Officer, and Ishrat Ilyas as Chief Development Officer. In a 3-unit, fully company-owned system, technology decisions are centralized. Vendors should expect the CEO and COO to be the primary stakeholders for operational tools like POS and payroll, while the CDO may influence systems tied to growth or construction. No additional operator footprint is mapped in our corpus, reinforcing the HQ-only dynamic.

Mandated and current tech stack

Flamin Feathers mandates three specific technology systems across its locations. Clover POS by Clover Network, LLC is the required point-of-sale platform. ADP Payroll by ADP, Inc. handles payroll processing. QuickBooks Online by Intuit Inc. is the mandated accounting software. These mandates are drawn directly from the FDD and represent the core operational stack. Vendors offering complementary or replacement solutions will need to displace an existing mandated vendor, which typically requires a compelling ROI case presented to the executive team.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the brand's procurement model—whether it uses designated suppliers, approved suppliers, or an open purchasing framework—is not publicly disclosed. On the renewal side, Item 17 outlines conditions for franchise agreement renewal: the franchisee must be in compliance, pay a renewal fee, sign a general release of claims, provide written notice at least 180 days before expiration, and sign the then-current agreement, which may contain materially different terms. The initial franchise term is 10 years. The renewal term length is not specified in the available data. For vendors, the 180-day notice window and potential for materially different contract terms at renewal could create natural reevaluation points for technology systems, though with only 3 company-owned units, any renewal cycle is a corporate-level decision.

How to read the Flamin Feathers FDD

The full 2025 Flamin Feathers Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below for your review. This document is filed with state franchise regulators and contains the legal and operational disclosures that govern the franchise system. Key sections for software vendors include Item 11 (franchisor's obligations), which surfaces the mandated tech stack, and Item 17 (renewal, termination, transfer), which outlines contract windows. Item 1 identifies the executives who control purchasing. Because no Item 8 extract is present, procurement rules remain opaque. Use the FDD to validate the facts cited here and to identify any additional compliance or operational requirements that might affect your product's fit.
