The vendor opportunity at Khalil Biryani House

Khalil Biryani House is a quick-service restaurant concept headquartered in New York. According to its 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the system consists of just 2 units, both company-owned. No franchised locations are reported, and year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed. For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is limited to these two locations and the HQ team. However, the franchisor’s mandated technology stack creates a narrow but defined entry point for vendors whose products integrate with or complement the required systems.

The royalty rate is 5.0% of gross sales, and the initial franchise term is 10 years. Average unit volume is not disclosed in the FDD. Vendors should weigh the small unit count against the potential to establish a reference account within a young or emerging brand.

Who controls software purchasing

Software purchasing decisions at Khalil Biryani House are centralized at the headquarters level. The FDD lists five key executives in Item 1: Managing Members Md Khalilur Rahman and Mst Rima Khatun, Director of Food & Beverage Sakia Sraboni, Chief Marketing Officer Rakib Uzzaman, and Chief Financial Officer Ahad Ali. For a software vendor, the CFO and CMO are the most likely decision-makers for financial and marketing technology, respectively, while the Managing Members hold ultimate authority. The Director of Food & Beverage may influence operational tools, particularly anything touching kitchen or point-of-sale workflows.

Because the system has no franchised operators, there is no multi-unit owner tier to navigate. Every sale runs through this small HQ group.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2024 FDD mandates two specific technology systems. First, Clover POS by Clover Network, LLC is required for point-of-sale operations. Second, QuickBooks Online by Intuit Inc. is mandated for accounting. No other operational, HR, inventory, or marketing platforms are named as required or recommended in the FDD. This means the existing stack is lean, and any additional software used at the unit or HQ level is not publicly documented.

For vendors selling adjacent solutions—such as payroll, scheduling, loyalty, or delivery integration—the mandate of Clover and QuickBooks Online defines the integration landscape. Compatibility with Clover’s app market and QuickBooks Online’s API is table stakes for any pitch.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract describing procurement or supply chain requirements. Without that disclosure, the designated-supplier versus approved-supplier model remains unknown. Given the small size and HQ control, vendors should assume a closed, relationship-driven procurement process.

Renewal terms offer some insight into long-term planning cycles. Franchisees may obtain up to two additional 5-year successor terms, provided they meet conditions including renovation to then-current standards and signing the then-current franchise agreement. For software vendors, these renewal events could trigger technology refresh requirements, but with only 2 units and no franchised locations, the practical impact is minimal in the near term. Contract windows are more likely tied to internal HQ initiatives than to a predictable franchise lifecycle.
