The vendor opportunity at NativeWahl

NativeWahl is a 4-unit quick-service concept headquartered in Nevada, operating under Native Source Restaurant Group as part of the Wahlburgers system. Item 19 makes no financial performance representation, and unit count doubled year over year against an 8% royalty and a 20-year initial term — a small but fast-growing footprint.

Who controls software purchasing

With 2 of NativeWahl's 4 units company-owned and NCR Aloha mandated system-wide for point-of-sale, purchasing for that category runs through the ownership group rather than being decided unit-by-unit.

Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required

Item 11 mandates NCR Aloha for point-of-sale. The filing also names Aloha, also by NCR Voyix, and Olo as in use — incumbent systems described without an independent mandate in that reference. DoorDash, ezCater, Grubhub and Postmates by Uber appear in Item 6, and Ecolab in Item 8, none of them required.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 runs an approved-supplier list: franchisees must buy from franchisor-approved suppliers, which may include designated single or limited sources, though alternative suppliers can be requested for approval. The 20-year initial term is followed by 10-year Item 17 renewal terms that require renovating the location to the then-current Wahlburgers image, a general release, additional training and a renewal fee, under a subfranchise agreement that may carry materially different royalty and advertising terms.
