Ori'Zaba's
Quick service restaurantOri'Zaba's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document, filed in 2026, discloses 4 total units — 3 franchised and 1 company-owned — at an average unit volume of $1,534,380. Item 1 names one person, Jack McClurg, agent for service of process; no CIO, CTO or technology officer is disclosed, so the filing does not establish who signs a software contract. The document mandates no technology at all: ezCater, Toast and Valutec appear in it through fee or usage clauses, but nothing in the filing requires a franchisee to run any of them.

The vendor opportunity at Ori'Zaba's
Ori'Zaba's is a Colorado-headquartered quick-service restaurant brand. Its most recent Franchise Disclosure Document, filed in 2026, discloses 4 total units: 3 franchised and 1 company-owned. Average unit volume is $1,534,380, which is a substantial per-location number for a system this small — the revenue per unit is there, the unit count is not. Royalty runs 5.0% and the initial term is 10 years. Year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed in the most recent filing.
Our own operator mapping locates roughly 7 units held by 7 mapped operators, none of them multi-unit, with Nevada at 3 and Michigan, Texas and Wisconsin at one each. That is more located units than the FDD discloses, so reconcile the two counts before you size a territory list. Either way, this is a small-system pitch: single-digit units, no operator holding more than one location, and a total contract value that has to be justified against the effort of a corporate sale.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 1 lists a single individual: Jack McClurg, agent for service of process. That is a legal role, not a buying role, and no chief information officer, chief technology officer or VP of technology is disclosed anywhere in the filing. With 3 of the 4 disclosed units franchised and no multi-unit operators in the mapped footprint, nothing in the document establishes whether technology decisions are made centrally or left to individual restaurants. Ori'Zaba's is a case where the buying center has to be qualified on the call, because the filing genuinely does not answer it.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
The 2026 filing mandates no technology. Three vendors appear in it — ezCater, Toast and Valutec — and each appears through a fee or usage clause rather than an obligation on the franchisee. The FDD names them; it does not require them. That distinction is the whole finding: catering and group ordering, point of sale, and gift card and stored-value processing all surface as categories in the document, and none of them is closed by a franchisor mandate.
For a software vendor, a system that mandates nothing is a normal and commercially useful result. There is no franchisor-level contract to displace and no compliance language a competitor can hide behind. What the filing does not tell you is what any individual restaurant has actually installed — the absence of a mandate is not evidence of an empty stack, only of an open one.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8, which covers sources of products and services, yields no extract in the most recent filing, so whether Ori'Zaba's runs designated suppliers, an approved-supplier list, or open purchasing is not disclosed. Item 17 is more concrete. A franchisee in good standing may add two successor terms of ten years each, conditional on giving notice, upgrading the restaurant, being in substantial compliance, meeting qualification and training requirements, signing a release, and executing the then-current franchise agreement — which may carry materially different terms, including higher royalty and advertising contributions.
The upgrade-the-restaurant condition is the timing hook worth tracking. Renewal on a ten-year cycle forces a physical refresh, and a refresh is when hardware and the systems attached to it get re-specified.
How to read the Ori'Zaba's FDD
The 2026 document was filed with state franchise regulators and is embedded in the viewer below. Item 1 gives the corporate structure and the one officer on record, Item 8 covers supplier obligations, Item 17 covers renewal and the upgrade condition, Item 19 carries the $1,534,380 average unit volume, and Item 20 carries the 4-unit split.

Questions vendors ask
Ori'Zaba's, answered from the filing
The 2026 FDD names only Jack McClurg, agent for service of process. No CIO, CTO or technology officer is disclosed, and with 3 of 4 units franchised and no multi-unit operators mapped, the filing does not establish a buying center. Treat it as an open question to qualify directly.
None. The FDD mandates no technology. It names ezCater, Toast and Valutec in fee or usage clauses, but nothing in the filing requires a franchisee to run them — so ordering, POS and gift-card categories are open rather than incumbent-held.
The 2026 FDD discloses 4 total units — 3 franchised, 1 company-owned — in the quick-service restaurant segment. Separately, operator mapping locates roughly 7 units held by 7 single-unit operators, led by Nevada (3) with one each in Michigan, Texas and Wisconsin.
Not disclosed. Item 8 yields no extract in the most recent filing, so whether Ori'Zaba's designates suppliers, maintains an approved list, or leaves purchasing open is unknown. Supplier control is a question to raise on the first call rather than an answer the FDD gives.
The initial term runs 10 years, with two successor terms of ten years available to franchisees in good standing. Renewal requires notice, upgrading the restaurant, and signing the then-current agreement, which may carry higher royalty and advertising terms. The upgrade requirement is the re-specification moment.
