The vendor opportunity at Hot Harry's Fresh Burritos
Hot Harry's Fresh Burritos' 2025 FDD covers a small, 4-unit system — 2 franchised, 2 company-owned — with 5% royalty and flat year-over-year unit growth. The FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation.
Who controls software purchasing
All 5 mapped operators run a single unit each, spread across Massachusetts (2), New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Day-to-day buying happens at the store level, but Item 8 gives the franchisor an absolute right to limit approved suppliers system-wide — the lever a vendor would need to pull for a chain-wide deal.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Item 8 mandates both DoorDash and Uber Eats for delivery. These are the only two systems named in the filing, and both are required.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 runs an approved-supplier-list model: the franchisor has an absolute right to limit suppliers, and Trade Secret Products are restricted to exclusive sources. Franchisees may propose alternate suppliers for other items, subject to approval. The initial term is 10 years; renewal requires advance notice, a remodel, a successor fee, and a signed release.
