The vendor opportunity at OSMOW's
OSMOW's 2025 FDD covers 4 quick-service locations — 2 franchised, 2 company-owned — headquartered in Ontario. The royalty is 5% on a 10-year initial term, and the FDD makes no financial performance representation. What stands out is the technology stack: six systems are already required by contract.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 names Founder Sam Osmow, Corporate Director/President/Secretary Ben Osmow, Corporate Director/Vice-President/Treasurer Bernadette Osmow, General Counsel Carol Mechedjian, and Vice President of Marketing Marina Baric. One mapped operator runs the system's located units, with no more than one location per operator.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Item 16 requires DoorDash, ezCater, Grubhub and Uber Eats for delivery. Item 11 requires Givex, and Item 7 requires Shift4 for payment processing — six systems in total that franchisees are obliged to run. First Data by Fiserv appears in Item 8 as a named system; nothing in the filing requires it.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 designates suppliers only: chicken, meat, marinade and falafel must be purchased from the Commissary operated by affiliate OCL, while franchisees may propose alternate suppliers for approval on other items. OSMOW's is part of Ontario. The initial term is 10 years, and the renewal term is 5 years; franchisees must give written notice 12 to 18 months before the initial term ends, and the franchisor must still be awarding new OSMOW's franchises in that state.
