Nana's Green Tea

The vendor opportunity at Nana's Green Tea

Nana's Green Tea is a quick-service restaurant concept headquartered in California. For software vendors, the brand presents a centralized sales target with decision-making concentrated at its HQ. The total number of US locations—both franchised and company-owned—is not disclosed in the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, so the full addressable unit count remains unknown from public filings. The brand operates with a 5.0% royalty rate and a standard initial franchise term of 5 years. Year-over-year unit growth is not available in the current data.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2025 FDD identifies two executives in Item 1: Kazuto Kutami, who holds the roles of President, Secretary, and Treasurer, and Yuichiro Soeda, listed as a Director. With no other officers on file, technology purchasing authority almost certainly rests with this small leadership group. Vendors should direct outreach to these individuals, recognizing that the President likely serves as the primary economic buyer for any system-wide software investment.

Mandated and current tech stack

Nana's Green Tea mandates a specific point-of-sale system: Toast POS by Toast, Inc. This is the only named technology vendor in the FDD. The mandate means any franchisee must use Toast for their core in-store transaction processing. For software vendors selling complementary or adjacent tools—such as loyalty, online ordering, inventory, or labor scheduling—this creates both an integration requirement and a potential wedge if your solution fills a gap Toast does not cover natively. No other operational, HR, or financial systems are disclosed as mandated or recommended in the filing.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, leaving the brand's procurement model unspecified. It is unclear whether franchisees must buy from designated suppliers, choose from approved vendors, or operate under an open purchasing model. This ambiguity means a vendor's first conversation with HQ should clarify how software procurement works in practice. On the renewal side, Item 17 provides a clear window: franchise agreements run for 5 years, and franchisees in good standing can renew for two additional 5-year successor terms. However, the renewal requires signing the then-current Franchise Agreement, which may contain materially different terms, including higher royalty and advertising contributions. This periodic renegotiation cycle could open doors for introducing new technology requirements or standards at the system level.
