773 kiosks run under the 2026 FDD, 100% franchised, in the retail food segment. California carries the heaviest concentration at 159 locations, followed by Texas (69) and Florida (42), among 723 mapped operators, 12 of them running more than one kiosk. Franchised outlets grew 4.2% year over year. Item 19 of the FDD makes no financial performance representation.
Item 11 puts the point-of-order hardware on the franchisor: each Kiosk must buy a tablet, stylus pen, and label printer directly from the franchisor as part of its initial equipment purchase, then buy tablet technology support services from a vendor the franchisor designates — currently one unaffiliated with the franchisor itself. That is a corporate-set requirement even though the support vendor sits outside the franchisor's own supply chain. President Farrell Hirsch and Secretary and Legal Counsel Mario Tapanes head the Item 2 officer roster, alongside Directors Alex Meruelo, Luis Armona, and Rebeca Christy.
Item 11's own words require the tablet, stylus, and label printer purchase and the designated-vendor support contract described above — there is no additional named software platform in this filing.
Item 8 runs a designated-suppliers-only model: the franchisor is currently the only approved supplier for core products including rice, vinegar, pre-packaged food and condiments, seafood products, branded items, labels, sauces, and sushi trays, with other goods and equipment from a designated or approved list. Franchisees may propose an alternate supplier for approval. The initial term is 3 years; renewal requires 60 to 150 days' written notice, a $3,750 fee, staying current on financial obligations, and a signed general release 20 days before expiration — a fast-repeating three-year cycle for vendors to track.
The viewer below holds the full 2026 FDD. Item 11 covers the tablet and technology mandate, Item 8 the supplier rules, and Item 20 the 773-kiosk count and state breakdown. Talk to FranCloud for a ranked list of franchise systems like this one, sized and scored for software fit.
