Kazzan Ramen

The vendor opportunity at Kazzan Ramen

Kazzan Ramen is a quick-service restaurant brand headquartered in California. According to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the system consists of exactly 1 unit, which is company-owned. No franchised units are reported, and year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed. For a software vendor, the addressable market is therefore a single location in Illinois. The average unit volume (AUV) is not disclosed in the FDD. The royalty rate is 5.0% of gross sales, and the initial franchise term is 10 years.

Who controls software purchasing

The FDD lists only one individual in Item 1: Jimmie Evans, identified as the Agent for Service of Process. No other executives, such as a CIO, CTO, or VP of Operations, are named. In a single-unit, company-owned system, purchasing authority almost certainly rests with the owner or a small HQ team. Vendors should expect a centralized decision-making process, but the specific buyer persona is not publicly documented.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2025 FDD does not capture any mandated or recommended technology systems. No POS vendor, online ordering platform, payroll provider, or other operational software is named. This absence of a tech mandate means the brand either has no prescribed stack or chooses not to disclose it in the FDD. Vendors will need to discover the incumbent systems through direct discovery.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 of the FDD, which typically describes procurement obligations and designated suppliers, contains no extract in the available data. The procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is therefore not disclosed. On renewals, Item 17 indicates that a franchisee may add two additional 5-year terms by providing written notice at least 180 days before the end of the existing term. However, renewal is not guaranteed if certain conditions in Section 5.2(c) of the Franchise Agreement apply. With a 10-year initial term and only 1 unit, major software evaluation windows are likely infrequent and tied to the owner's operational calendar.

How to read the Kazzan Ramen FDD

The 2025 Kazzan Ramen Franchise Disclosure Document is filed with state franchise regulators and is available for review in the embedded PDF viewer below. The FDD is the primary source for understanding the franchise relationship, including fees, obligations, and restrictions that shape software purchasing. For vendors, the key items to scrutinize are Item 8 (procurement), Item 11 (franchisor assistance and required systems), and Item 17 (renewal and termination). Because the disclosed data is sparse, direct outreach to the HQ may be necessary to map the current tech stack and identify decision-makers.
