From the filings
Software purchasing decisions at Jomsom Franchise Company appear to flow through its small headquarters team in New Jersey, led by CEO Mark C. Johnson and President Saurabh Agarwal. The most recent 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document does not mandate any specific technology systems, leaving the tech stack undefined for its 5 total units. With only 4 franchised locations and 1 company-owned unit, the addressable market for a vendor is extremely limited.
For software vendors selling into US franchise brands.

Jomsom Franchise Company presents a micro-cap opportunity for software vendors. The system consists of exactly 5 total units, split between 4 franchised locations and 1 company-owned outlet. The franchisor is headquartered in New Jersey and operates as an independent entity with no parent company on file. For a vendor, the total addressable market is capped at these 5 units. The average unit volume (AUV) and royalty percentage are not disclosed in the most recent FDD, making it impossible to model the financial health of the franchisees from public filings alone. Year-over-year unit growth is also not disclosed, so vendors cannot gauge whether the system is expanding or contracting. This is a professional services concept, and the lack of scale means any software sale will be a low-volume, relationship-driven deal rather than a high-velocity land-grab.
The 2025 FDD lists five key individuals in Item 1. Mark C. Johnson serves as Chief Executive Officer, and Saurabh Agarwal is the President. The development function is led by Mary G. Johnson, the Chief Development Officer. Two Area Representatives, Kimberly Carrano and Matthew Rivera, are also named. In a system this small, the CEO and President almost certainly hold final authority over any technology procurement. There is no CIO, CTO, or VP of Technology listed, which is consistent with a 5-unit organization. A vendor's pitch will need to reach Johnson or Agarwal directly. The Area Representatives may influence local operations but are unlikely to control a system-wide software budget. No operator footprint is mapped in our corpus, so the identities and influence of individual franchisees remain unknown.
The 2025 FDD contains no mandates or recommendations for technology systems. No POS provider, scheduling platform, payroll processor, or CRM is named. This is a blank slate. For a vendor, that means there is no incumbent to displace, but also no proof that the franchisor values standardized technology. The absence of a tech mandate often signals that each franchisee selects their own tools, which would make a system-wide sale nearly impossible. Alternatively, the franchisor may simply not disclose this information in Item 11. Vendors should clarify this point in the first conversation.
Procurement rules are a black box. The FDD extract for Item 8 is not available in our corpus, so we cannot confirm whether Jomsom uses designated suppliers, an approved supplier list, or an open procurement model. The renewal terms, however, are explicit. The initial franchise agreement runs for 10 years. To renew, a franchisee must provide 180 days' prior written notice, sign the then-current form of franchise agreement, execute a general release, pay a renewal fee, and meet all other conditions. The renewal term is 5 years. Critically, the franchisor warns that the renewal agreement "may contain terms materially different from your current Franchise Agreement." This creates a potential trigger event where technology requirements could be introduced or changed at renewal. With only 4 franchised units, these windows will be infrequent and specific to each operator's contract cycle.
The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document is the foundational source for all claims in this profile. It is filed with state franchise regulators and available in the embedded viewer below. For software vendors, the most relevant sections are Item 1 (the franchisor and its executives), Item 8 (restrictions on sources of products and services), Item 11 (franchisor's assistance, including technology), and Item 17 (renewal, termination, and transfer). Because this FDD lacks a tech mandate and omits key financial metrics, a vendor's due diligence will require direct discovery with the HQ team.
