Nick and Moes

The vendor opportunity at Nick and Moes

Nick and Moes is a quick-service restaurant concept headquartered in Florida with a total footprint of 6 units, all company-owned, according to its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. No franchised units are reported, and year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed. The brand operates across five states: Texas (2 units), New Hampshire (1), Florida (1), Virginia (1), and Georgia (1). For a software vendor, the addressable market is 6 locations, all controlled from a single HQ. This is a small, centralized target where a single deal can cover the entire system.

Average unit volume is not provided in the FDD, and the royalty rate sits at 5.0% of gross sales. The initial franchise term is 10 years. With no franchised locations yet, the vendor opportunity today is purely a corporate-sales play. If the franchisor begins selling franchises, the unit count and procurement dynamics could shift, but the 2025 disclosure gives no indication of imminent expansion.

Who controls software purchasing

The FDD’s Item 1 identifies four executives: Mohammed (“Moe”) Isa as CEO, Nizar (“Nick”) Sallem as COO, Jose Rodriguez as Vice President of Operations, and Shaun Barnett as District Manager. There is no CIO, CTO, or dedicated technology buyer listed. In a 6-unit, owner-operated chain, the CEO and COO are the most likely decision-makers for any software purchase, with the VP of Operations influencing tools that touch store-level workflows. Vendors should expect a direct, relationship-driven sales process rather than a formal RFP or procurement department.

No parent company is on file; the brand appears independently owned. The operator footprint shows 6 mapped operators, all single-unit, with no multi-unit franchisees. This reinforces that all purchasing authority is concentrated at HQ.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2025 FDD does not capture any mandated or recommended technology systems. Item 11, which typically lists required POS, back-office, or operational software, contains no vendor names or system requirements in the available extract. This means the brand either has no technology mandates for its locations or chooses not to disclose them in the FDD. For a software vendor, this is a blank-slate signal: there is no incumbent to unseat by default, but you will need to discover the actual stack in use through direct discovery.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 of the FDD, which would describe purchasing requirements, designated suppliers, or approved vendor programs, was not extracted. The procurement model is therefore unknown from the public filing. Vendors should clarify during initial conversations whether Nick and Moes uses preferred supplier lists or allows open purchasing.

Item 17 provides the renewal structure: franchisees have the right to renew for additional 10-year terms by entering into the then-current franchise agreement, which may contain materially different terms. A renewal fee applies, and the franchisor may refuse renewal if conditions are not met. For software vendors, renewal windows represent natural moments when operational tech stacks get re-evaluated, though with no franchised units currently, this is a forward-looking consideration.

Focus on Item 1 for the leadership team and any parent-entity relationships, Item 8 for procurement rules (if present in the full document), Item 11 for technology obligations, and Item 17 for renewal and transfer conditions that could open sales windows. The franchise agreement exhibits may also contain software-related operating standards not summarized in the Items.
