Questions vendors ask
Mountain Mike's Pizza, answered from the filing
Mountain Mike's Pizza designates Adora POS, Heartland, Punchh and Valutec by name as required vendors under Item 8, leaving little open for competing suppliers in those categories. CEO Jim Metevier and COO/President Sumi Ghosh sit at the HQ level where these designations are set.
The filing requires Adora POS as the designated point-of-sale system, Heartland for credit card processing, Punchh for the mobile app and loyalty program, and Valutec for the gift card program. SimpleVoIP, Sangoma and SafeHaven are the designated telephone and IVR suppliers.
Mountain Mike's Pizza operates 321 quick-service locations, all franchised and concentrated in California (270). Franchised outlets grew 7.4% year over year.
Mountain Mike's Pizza designates specific suppliers by category — Adora POS, Heartland, Punchh, Valutec, and its telephone providers — while other items need only meet its minimum standards and may come from any approved supplier. Franchisees may propose a new supplier for approval.
A franchisee in good standing may acquire a successor franchise for a further 10-year term on Mountain Mike's then-current terms; a franchisee already renewing an expiring franchise has no right to another term after that. With franchised outlets up 7.4% year over year, new-store POS and payment setup is likely the bigger near-term opportunity.
