Pasta Di Guy

The vendor opportunity at Pasta Di Guy

Pasta Di Guy is a quick-service restaurant concept headquartered in Florida with a total footprint of three locations — all company-owned. Two units operate in Virginia and one in Florida. The brand’s most recent Franchise Disclosure Document, filed in 2026, shows no franchised units and no year-over-year unit growth disclosed. For software vendors, this is a micro-target: a single decision-making node at HQ controlling all technology spend across a tiny estate.

The royalty rate is set at 5.0% of gross sales, and the initial franchise term runs 10 years. Average unit volume is not disclosed in the FDD, so vendors cannot benchmark revenue-per-location. What is clear is that the entire system is under direct corporate control, meaning any software sale must win over the two executives who run the company.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2026 FDD lists only two individuals in Item 1: Gai Carmeli, who serves as both CEO and COO, and Eyal Carmeli, who holds the roles of CFO and HR Director. There is no CIO, CTO, or VP of Technology on file. For a vendor, this means the buying center is compressed into a single family office-style leadership structure. Gai Carmeli likely owns the operational technology decisions, while Eyal Carmeli controls the budget. Any outreach should address both operational pain points and financial justification simultaneously.

No parent company is disclosed, and the brand appears independently owned. The operator footprint confirms this concentration: three mapped operators, all single-unit, with no multi-unit franchisees in the system. The unit-band split is entirely in the 1-unit category, with zero operators in the 2–9, 10–24, or 25+ bands.

Mandated and current tech stack

Pasta Di Guy mandates three categories of technology in its franchise agreement: KDS Systems, POS Systems, and a Proprietary Software Program. The FDD does not name specific vendors for any of these mandates, which is unusual and leaves open the question of whether the brand uses off-the-shelf solutions or custom-built tools. For a vendor selling kitchen display, point-of-sale, or operational software, the mandate signal is strong — these are not optional line items — but the incumbent is unknown without further discovery.

The absence of named vendors could indicate a homegrown stack managed internally, or it could mean the franchisor reserves the right to designate suppliers later. Either way, a vendor pitch must account for the possibility that the proprietary software program is not easily displaced.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD provides no Item 8 extract, so the procurement model — whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open — is not publicly disclosed. Vendors should assume a closed or tightly controlled purchasing environment given the small size and centralized management.

Renewal terms are outlined in Item 17. A franchisee may renew for one additional 10-year term provided they are not in violation of the agreement, pay a renewal fee equal to the greater of $10,000 or 25% of the then-current franchise fee at least five months before renewal, and either retain the existing site or secure an alternative location acceptable to the franchisor. The franchisee must also refurbish or relocate as specified in the agreement. Critically, the renewal franchise agreement may be materially different from the original, which could include updated technology mandates. For vendors, this means the five-month pre-renewal window is the most likely moment when a franchisee — or the franchisor — reevaluates software commitments. However, with only three company-owned units and no franchised operators, these windows are effectively internal corporate decisions rather than franchisee-driven events.
