The vendor opportunity at Orlando Cat Cafe
Orlando Cat Cafe is a quick-service restaurant brand headquartered in Florida, and the most recent FDD on file is from 2026. That filing reports 1 total location, and that unit is company-owned; the franchised count is not disclosed in the most recent FDD, and year-over-year unit growth is not available. Average unit volume is $707,544, the royalty is 7.0%, and the initial term runs 10 years. One unit at that volume is not a seat-count play. The value to a vendor here is positional: being written into the operating standard before there is a system to standardise, at a stage where a single conversation covers the whole brand.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 1 names four people. Sandra Cagan is Founder and CEO and Jeffrey Cagan is President; Suzanne Bernal is a Principal and Managing Partner and Matthias Bernal a Principal and Managing Director. No CIO, CTO, or other technology officer is disclosed in the most recent FDD, which is ordinary at this size and means the founder-CEO is both evaluator and signer. There is no parent company on file — the brand appears independently owned — so there is no group IT function above it and no sibling brand it will be standardised against. With the single disclosed unit company-owned, this is an HQ decision with no franchisee association or multi-unit operator to route around. Our own operator mapping finds 1 operator, none multi-unit, across roughly 1 located unit, in Florida.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
The 2026 filing mandates exactly one system: Instacart, which the FDD obliges the franchisee to use. That is the only technology obligation on the face of the document, and it sits in the delivery and marketplace layer rather than in the operational core.
Five further systems appear in the filing without being required. Bookeo, Canva, QuickBooks Online, Qvinci and Square are each named in a fee or usage clause, which tells you the drafter had them in mind when writing the money terms — but the filing does not require any of them, so none should be treated as a contracted incumbent to displace. That distinction is the commercially useful part: reservations and booking, design, bookkeeping and financial consolidation, and point of sale all sit uncommitted on the face of this FDD. A system named in a filing is evidence of intent, not evidence of an installed vendor relationship.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 is where designated-supplier and approved-supplier obligations normally sit, and this filing produced no Item 8 extract, so whether Orlando Cat Cafe runs a designated, approved, or open procurement model is not established by the data we hold. Item 17 is more specific. The initial term is 10 years and the renewal term is 5. To renew, the franchisee must have complied with the franchise agreement during its term, give notice, meet then-current training requirements, upgrade the location and equipment, sign the then-current franchise agreement, deliver a release from itself and its owners, and pay a renewal fee. The upgrade condition is the one to watch: renewal here is a capital event, and capital events are when equipment and system refreshes get approved.
How to read the Orlando Cat Cafe FDD
The 2026 document was filed with state franchise regulators, and the full PDF is embedded in the viewer below. Item 1 gives the executives named above and the entity chain; Item 8 covers supplier obligations; Item 11 covers computer systems and required technology, where the Instacart obligation belongs; Item 17 covers renewal and the 5-year successor term; Item 20 carries the unit tables behind the single-unit count.

Questions vendors ask
Orlando Cat Cafe, answered from the filing
Item 1 names Sandra Cagan, Founder and CEO, and Jeffrey Cagan, President, alongside Suzanne Bernal (Principal and Managing Partner) and Matthias Bernal (Principal and Managing Director). No CIO or CTO is disclosed in the most recent FDD, so the founder-CEO is both the evaluator and the signer. There is no parent company on file above her.
One system: Instacart, which the FDD obliges the franchisee to use. Bookeo, Canva, QuickBooks Online, Qvinci and Square each appear in a fee or usage clause, but nothing in the filing requires them — so booking, design, bookkeeping and point of sale read as open categories rather than incumbent-held.
The 2026 FDD reports 1 total location, and that unit is company-owned; the franchised count is not disclosed in the most recent FDD, and year-over-year unit growth is not available. Our mapping places that single unit in Florida. This is a quick-service restaurant brand at the very start of franchising.
Not established. Item 8 — where designated-supplier and approved-supplier requirements live — produced no extract from this filing, so we cannot say whether the brand runs a designated, approved, or open model. The one hard procurement signal we hold is the Instacart mandate.
The initial term runs 10 years and the renewal term is 5. Renewal requires compliance during the term, notice, meeting then-current training requirements, upgrading the location and equipment, signing the then-current agreement, a release from the franchisee and its owners, and a renewal fee. The upgrade condition makes renewal a capital event.
It was filed with state franchise regulators in 2026. The full PDF is embedded in the viewer below — read Item 1 for executives, Item 8 for supplier obligations, Item 11 for computer systems and required technology, Item 17 for renewal, and Item 20 for the unit tables.
