Landingplace Franchising

The vendor opportunity at Landingplace Franchising

Landingplace Franchising operates within the LANDINGPLACE HOSPITALITY LLC parent company and focuses on lodging concepts. For software vendors, the opportunity lies in a franchisor that centralizes technology decisions at headquarters. The total unit count is not disclosed in the 2025 FDD, so the precise addressable market size remains unknown. However, the mandated tech stack signals a controlled environment where a single HQ decision can deploy software across the entire system.

The royalty rate is 5.0%, a figure that underscores the franchisor's ongoing revenue interest in operator performance. Vendors should note that average unit volume (AUV) is not provided, making it harder to model per-unit software spend. Still, the lodging segment typically requires property management, guest experience, and revenue management tools, all of which appear in the mandated stack.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2025 FDD lists five key executives at the franchisor level. Jeremy Allen Bratcher serves as Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, while Jacob Amezcua holds the title of President and Co-Founder. Glenn Miller is Executive Vice President of Commercial Strategy, John Kelley is Executive Vice President of Franchise Operations, and Gus Stamoutsos is Senior Vice President of Franchise Development. This leadership structure points to a centralized buying center, with commercial strategy and franchise operations likely influencing technology procurement.

No operator-level decision-makers are mapped in our corpus, reinforcing the HQ-centric purchasing model. Vendors should direct initial outreach to the C-suite and EVP layer, particularly those overseeing commercial strategy and operations.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2025 FDD mandates seven specific technology systems. Amadeus iHotelier serves as the central reservations and property management platform. Flyer and Hotel Key are also mandated, likely covering guest-facing or operational functions. Medallia by Medallia, Inc. handles guest experience and reputation management. Rate 360 and RMS address pricing and revenue management, while The Guestbook rounds out the stack, possibly for direct booking incentives or guest rewards.

This integrated suite leaves little room for competing core systems. However, vendors offering complementary solutions—such as staff scheduling, maintenance management, or advanced analytics—may find gaps around these mandated platforms. The absence of a named POS system suggests either a non-traditional setup or an area not covered by the current mandates.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The 2025 FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the formal procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly specified. Similarly, Item 17 provides no renewal signal, and the initial franchise term is not disclosed. This lack of data makes it difficult to predict contract windows or renewal cycles.

Vendors should approach this as a relationship-driven sale. Without clear procurement gates, building connections with the EVP of Commercial Strategy and the EVP of Franchise Operations becomes even more critical. Monitoring any public announcements about technology changes or new system rollouts can also provide entry points.

How to read the Landingplace Franchising FDD

The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document is the authoritative source for understanding this franchisor's technology mandates, leadership, and operational structure. Filed with state franchise regulators, the FDD contains detailed disclosures across all 23 Items. For software vendors, the most relevant sections are Item 1 (the franchisor and its executives), Item 11 (franchisor's assistance, including mandated technology), and Item 8 (restrictions on sources of products and services).

You can review the full FDD in the embedded viewer below. Pay close attention to the exact language around technology requirements—mandated systems leave no room for franchisee choice, while recommended systems may still create a de facto standard.
