Naz’s Halal Food

The vendor opportunity at Naz's Halal Food

Naz's Halal Food is a quick-service restaurant brand headquartered in New York. According to its 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document, the system comprises 54 total units—41 franchised and 13 company-owned. The brand reported an impressive year-over-year unit growth rate of 36.7%, signaling aggressive expansion. Average unit volume sits at $1,660,000, with a 6.0% royalty rate and a 10-year initial franchise term. For software vendors, the addressable market is 54 locations, but the growth trajectory suggests that number will climb quickly, creating recurring onboarding opportunities.

Who controls software purchasing

Purchasing authority appears concentrated at the corporate level. The FDD lists Mohammad Nasir Mashriqi as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, a dual role that likely centralizes financial and operational sign-off. Gerry Henley serves as President of Franchise Operations, while Sean Henderson holds the Vice President of Operations title. For a software vendor, the initial pitch probably runs through operations leadership—Henderson or Henley—with final budget approval resting with Mashriqi. Elizabeth Sandoz, VP of Franchise Sales, and Amy Jackson, Training and Development Manager, round out the named executive team. The operator footprint is thin: only one mapped operator is on file, controlling approximately one unit, with no multi-unit operators recorded. This reinforces the HQ-centric buying dynamic.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2026 FDD does not capture any mandated or recommended technology systems. No POS vendor, back-office platform, delivery aggregator, or HR system is named in the available data. This absence is itself a signal: either the franchisor imposes no technology standards, or the requirements are communicated outside the FDD. For a vendor, this means there is no disclosed incumbent to displace. A pitch that emphasizes ease of deployment across both franchised and company-owned locations, with a clear ROI tied to that $1.66 million AUV, would align with the brand's growth phase.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Procurement rules are not detailed in the available FDD extract. Item 8, which typically outlines designated or approved supplier requirements, provided no extract for analysis. This leaves open the question of whether franchisees have autonomy to select their own software or must buy from a corporate-approved list. On renewals, Item 17 states that a franchisee in full compliance may be granted one successive term of ten years, or a shorter period tied to the premises lease. These long cycles mean that existing franchisees are locked in for a decade, but the rapid unit growth creates a steady stream of new locations that need to be equipped from day one. Vendors should time outreach to coincide with the franchise sales process led by Elizabeth Sandoz.
