Holy Schnitzel

The vendor opportunity at Holy Schnitzel

Holy Schnitzel is a quick-service restaurant concept headquartered in New York, operating 8 total units—5 franchised and 3 company-owned. The brand’s unit count is small, but for a software vendor, the opportunity is defined by a centralized purchasing model. The franchisor mandates a specific technology stack, which means a single relationship at HQ can unlock access to the entire system. The most recent FDD, filed in 2025, does not disclose average unit volume, so vendors must size the opportunity based on unit count and the brand’s royalty rate of 5.0%.

Who controls software purchasing

Owners Ofeer Benaltaba and Jacob Benaltaba sit at the top of the organizational chart and are the ultimate decision-makers for any enterprise software purchase. Director of Finance Inbar Noah is the likely buyer for financial, payroll, or accounting platforms. Director of Training Tony Maradiago may influence operational tools, including any learning management or scheduling systems. Quality Control & New Recipes lead Sivan Atia could be a stakeholder for supply chain or inventory management software. The executive team is lean, and every software pitch should assume that the Benaltabas will have final sign-off.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2025 FDD mandates Adelo for Restaurants Pro Edition across all locations. No other technology systems or vendors are disclosed as mandated or recommended. This creates both a barrier and a signal: the franchisor is willing to enforce a tech standard, but the current stack appears narrow. Vendors offering complementary solutions—such as loyalty, delivery integration, or HR platforms—should position themselves as add-ons that integrate with Adelo, rather than replacements for the core POS.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the brand’s supplier qualification process is not publicly detailed. However, the mandate of Adelo suggests a designated-supplier model for core technology. Renewal terms are disclosed in Item 17: franchisees in good standing may sign a 10-year successor agreement, subject to a release, potential renovation requirements, and a successor agreement fee. The franchisor reserves the right to materially change contract terms, though territory boundaries and fees relative to similarly situated franchisees are protected. With no year-over-year unit growth disclosed and a small existing base, the most likely trigger for a new software evaluation would be a growth initiative or a dissatisfaction event with the incumbent POS.

How to read the Holy Schnitzel FDD

The full 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below. Key sections for software vendors include Item 11 (the franchisor’s obligations), which lists the Adelo mandate, and Item 17 (renewal and termination), which outlines the 10-year successor term and conditions. Item 1 names the executive team, giving you a clear map of who to call. Because the brand is independently owned with no parent company on file, there is no larger enterprise structure to navigate.
