The vendor opportunity at Local Burger Franchising
Local Burger Franchising is a quick-service restaurant concept headquartered in New York. According to its 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), the system consists of 3 total units, all company-owned. No franchised locations are reported, and year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed. The brand’s average unit volume (AUV) is $1,540,818, with a 6.0% royalty rate and a 10-year initial franchise term. For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is small—just 3 locations—but the absence of franchised units means the technology stack is still being defined, creating a potential early-mover advantage if the brand expands.
Who controls software purchasing
Purchasing authority sits with the two co-founders listed in Item 1 of the FDD: Alyssa M. DiGirolomo, Director of Operations, and Andrew “Drew” Dvorkin, Creative Director. Both are based at the New York headquarters. No chief information officer, chief technology officer, or dedicated procurement executive is named. In a system this small, technology decisions are likely made directly by these individuals, making them the primary targets for any software pitch. The operator footprint shows 2 mapped operators across approximately 2 located units, with no multi-unit operators. This further concentrates decision-making at HQ.
Mandated and current tech stack
The FDD explicitly mandates one technology system: Sling, for employee scheduling. No point-of-sale (POS), inventory management, accounting, or other operational software is disclosed as required or recommended. This suggests that beyond scheduling, the brand may have an open technology stack, allowing individual locations or HQ to select vendors at their discretion. For vendors in categories like POS, online ordering, or loyalty, this represents a greenfield opportunity—though any adoption would need buy-in from the co-founders.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD, which typically outlines procurement restrictions and designated suppliers, contains no extract. This means the procurement model is not publicly disclosed; it could be open, designated-supplier, or a mix. Vendors should inquire directly with HQ to understand any preferred-vendor programs. Renewal terms offer some insight into potential contract windows: franchisees may renew for two consecutive 5-year terms, subject to conditions including no default, no outstanding monetary obligations, performance above the bottom quartile of net sales, and a quality assurance score of at least 85% on the three most recent inspections. With only company-owned units and no franchisees, these renewal cycles are not yet relevant, but they signal the franchisor’s long-term contractual framework. If franchising begins, software contracts could align with these 5-year renewal cycles.
How to read the Local Burger Franchising FDD
The 2024 FDD is filed with state franchise regulators and is available in the embedded PDF viewer below. It contains all legally required disclosures, including the franchise agreement, fees, territory rights, and financial performance representations. For software vendors, the most valuable sections are Item 1 (the franchisor and its executives), Item 8 (procurement restrictions), Item 11 (franchisor’s obligations and technology mandates), and Item 17 (renewal and termination). Reviewing these sections will clarify who controls purchasing, what systems are already locked in, and when contract opportunities may arise.
