Hommati Franchise Network

The vendor opportunity at Hommati

Hommati Franchise Network presents a compact, centrally managed sales target for software vendors. The system operates 133 total units—124 franchised and 9 company-owned—with an average unit volume of $130,812.79 and a 6.0% royalty rate. The network contracted by -3.125% year-over-year, and every mapped operator is a single-unit owner. This structure means there are no multi-unit franchisees to influence purchasing decisions; all technology evaluation and adoption flows through the headquarters in Ohio.

For a vendor, the addressable market is exactly 133 locations. The opportunity lies in displacing or integrating with the existing mandated platform, or in selling ancillary tools that complement the core real estate workflow. The absence of a parent company suggests an independent organization where a direct relationship with the executive team can yield a system-wide deal.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document identifies the key decision-maker for technology: Gordon Mott, Vice President of Technology. Alongside President and CEO Jerry L. Clum, Jr., and Vice President of Franchise Development Joseph Ciamacco, Mott is the executive most likely to evaluate and recommend software. Because the franchise system has no multi-unit operators, there is no secondary buying layer. A vendor’s path to adoption runs through convincing this small HQ team that a product adds measurable value to the Hommati.com-centric model.

Mandated and current tech stack

The technology landscape at Hommati is defined by a single mandate: the Hommati.com platform. This proprietary system is the operational backbone for franchisees, and no other POS, CRM, or operational software vendors are named in the FDD’s technology disclosures. For a software seller, this represents both a barrier and an opening. Any new tool must either integrate with Hommati.com or demonstrate that it solves a problem the mandated platform does not address. The lack of a crowded, named vendor stack means less entrenched competition, but also a higher burden of proof to show why an addition is necessary.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not disclose a formal procurement policy in Item 8, leaving the supplier selection process opaque. Vendors should assume a direct, relationship-based procurement model managed by the technology and executive leadership. The franchise agreement runs for an initial 10-year term, with two additional 10-year renewal options available if the franchisee meets conditions including good standing, timely notice, and payment of a renewal fee. Critically, renewal requires signing the then-current franchise agreement, which may have materially different terms. This creates a natural inflection point every decade where technology requirements could change, opening a window for new vendor introductions.
