The vendor opportunity at Orion Food Systems Orion Food Systems ended fiscal 2025 with 655 US quick-service Units, all of them franchised and none company-owned, under parent Performance Manufacturing, LLC, franchised most typically under the Hot Stuff Pizza and Hot Stuff Kitchen brand names.

Who controls software purchasing Orion Food Systems, LLC — "OLM" in its own FDD — sets purchasing standards at the corporate level. President Brady Welu leads the organization, with Samantha Gibbons overseeing sales and marketing and Stephanie Sigmon overseeing finance and administration. Item 8's designated-supplier model routes ingredient and supply purchasing through OLM or its affiliate.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required Item 8 requires the goods, services, supplies, fixtures, equipment and inventory used in the Unit to meet the standards and specifications OLM establishes, and signage and cabinetry bearing OLM's Trademarks to be bought from sources OLM expressly authorizes in advance. Unless OLM designates a source of supply for an item, a franchisee may obtain authorized goods and services from any available source, and OLM may change its equipment and fixture requirements during the term.
Procurement, renewals, and timing Franchisees must purchase all Ingredients and Supplies, plus certain packaging and sales-promotion materials, from OLM or its affiliate, and all signage and cabinetry bearing OLM's Trademarks from sources OLM expressly authorizes in advance. Other goods and services may come from any source that meets OLM's standards and specifications, and no OLM officer or director holds an interest in a designated supplier. The initial term is 5 years, automatically extending once for another 5 years absent breach or a 90-day termination notice; OLM can also negotiate a different agreement by mutual consent, or decline to renew.

Questions vendors ask
Orion Food Systems, answered from the filing
Orion Food Systems, LLC — "OLM" in its own FDD — sets purchasing policy at the corporate level under Item 8's designated-supplier model; President Brady Welu leads the organization.
Item 8 requires the Unit's goods, supplies, fixtures, equipment and inventory to meet the standards and specifications OLM establishes, and all signage and cabinetry bearing OLM's Trademarks to come from sources OLM expressly authorizes in advance. Unless OLM designates a source of supply, a franchisee may buy authorized goods and services from any available source.
The system ended fiscal 2025 with 655 Units nationwide, all of them franchised and none company-owned, within the quick-service restaurant segment.
Item 8 designates suppliers only: franchisees must buy their entire requirement of available Ingredients and Supplies, plus certain packaging and sales-promotion materials, from OLM or its affiliate, and all OLM-trademarked signage and cabinetry from sources OLM expressly authorizes in advance. Other items may come from any source meeting OLM's standards and specifications.
The initial term runs 5 years, and the franchise auto-extends for one additional 5-year term absent breach or a 90-day termination notice — that renewal point, and any earlier mutual-consent extension, is when supplier terms could change.
