The vendor opportunity at Green Mill On The Go
Green Mill On The Go is a quick-service restaurant concept operating 4 franchised units as of its 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document. The brand is part of Hightop Brands, LLC, and its headquarters are in Minnesota. For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is small—just 4 locations—but the brand posted 33.3% year-over-year unit growth, signaling expansion that could create new technology needs. The initial franchise term is 20 years, and the royalty rate is 4.0% of gross sales. Average unit volume is not disclosed in the most recent FDD.
Who controls software purchasing
Software purchasing decisions at Green Mill On The Go are centralized at the corporate level. The FDD lists Paul Dzubnar as Director, Chairman of the Board, Member, President, and Chief Executive Officer. Michael Drummer serves as Member, Director, and Secretary, while Timothy Kreiser is Member and Chief Operating Officer. John Hinz holds the role of Member and Chief Marketing Officer, and Ashley MacDonald is Director of Training. For a vendor pitching operational or financial software, the likely buying center includes the CEO and COO. Marketing technology may route through the CMO. There are no multi-unit operators mapped in our corpus, so all purchasing influence appears to sit with the franchisor entity.
Mandated and current tech stack
The 2024 FDD mandates several technology systems. Academy is a required training or learning management platform. KDS QSR Automations is mandated as the kitchen display system, along with a monthly subscription fee for that service. Serv-Safe is mandated, likely for food safety compliance. Restaurant365 by Restaurant365 is also mandated, covering accounting and back-office operations. Additionally, the FDD references Ingage I.T. and the Ingage Infinity Service Program, though it is not explicit whether these are mandated or recommended. Vendors offering competing solutions in KDS, LMS, food safety, or restaurant accounting should note these incumbents.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly known. Renewal terms under Item 17 allow a franchisee to extend the license for one additional 10-year term, provided they give notice between 6 and 12 months before the initial term ends, are in compliance, and sign the then-current Franchise Agreement. Franchisees may also be required to refurbish their restaurant within 12 months of renewal. These renewal events, combined with new unit openings, represent the most likely windows for software evaluation and contract changes.
