The vendor opportunity at OddFellows
OddFellows is a small quick-service restaurant concept based in Florida, with 5 company-owned locations as of the 2024 FDD. The brand does not report any franchised units, making the entire system company-operated. For software vendors, this means a concentrated addressable market of just 5 units, all controlled from a single headquarters. While the unit count is modest, the lack of franchisee autonomy simplifies the sales process: one decision point can unlock the entire chain. The brand’s royalty rate is 6.0% and the initial franchise term is 10 years, though no recent unit growth is reported. Average unit volume (AUV) is not disclosed. The concept is independently owned, with no parent company on file.
Who controls software purchasing
The FDD lists three executives in Item 1: Kartik Mohan Kumar (CEO), Abby Lavin (Production & Logistics Director), and Christopher DiVito (Ops & Brand Director). With no dedicated IT or procurement officer, software purchasing decisions likely rest with the CEO and the Ops & Brand Director. Given the small size, the CEO is probably the ultimate approver for any technology investment. Vendors should target Kumar and DiVito when reaching out, as they oversee both operations and brand strategy. There are no franchisee associations or multi-unit operators to navigate, as the system is entirely company-owned.
Mandated and current tech stack
The only technology system explicitly mandated in the 2024 FDD is QuickBooks Online for accounting. No point-of-sale (POS), payroll, inventory, or other operational software is named as required or recommended. This suggests that the brand may be using off-the-shelf or legacy tools for other functions, or that such systems are chosen at the unit level without a franchisor mandate. The absence of a mandated POS is notable for vendors selling restaurant management platforms. However, the small unit count may mean the brand has not yet standardized beyond accounting.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so there is no disclosed designated or approved supplier program. Procurement is likely handled informally by HQ. The franchise agreement has a 10-year initial term, and Item 17 outlines renewal conditions: franchisees must give advance notice, be in compliance, renovate to current standards, sign the then-current agreement (including a personal guaranty), and sign a general release. Renewal terms are 5 years. However, with no franchised units, these renewal windows are not currently relevant for software sales. For the company-owned units, purchasing cycles are probably ad-hoc and tied to the CEO’s priorities. Vendors should monitor any expansion or franchise recruitment activity, as that could create new openings.
How to read the OddFellows FDD
The full 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below. It was filed with state franchise regulators and provides the legal and operational details used in this analysis. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1 (executives), Item 11 (mandated systems), Item 8 (procurement restrictions), and Item 17 (renewal terms). Because the brand is small and privately held, the FDD is the most reliable source of public information on its operations.
