HQ-led decisions

Peri Peri Original

Quick service restaurant

Software purchasing decisions at Peri Peri Original are controlled at the headquarters level by a tight executive team including CEO Muhammad Abbasi and Director of Business Management Zahid Razzaq. The franchisor mandates Clover POS and QuickBooks Online across its system. The total addressable market in unit count is not disclosed in the most recent FDD, making direct qualification essential.

The vendor opportunity at Peri Peri Original

Peri Peri Original is a quick-service restaurant concept headquartered in Virginia. For software vendors, the chain presents a centralized sales target where a small headquarters team controls technology mandates. The total number of operating units—both franchised and company-owned—is not disclosed in the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, so vendors must qualify the live store count independently. The royalty rate is set at 6.0% of gross sales, and the initial franchise term runs for 10 years.

Who controls software purchasing

Purchasing authority sits at the top of the organization. The FDD’s Item 1 lists Muhammad Abbasi as CEO, Iqra Abbasi as Director of Marketing, and Zahid Razzaq as Director of Business Management. For a vendor selling operational or financial software, the likely economic buyer is Zahid Razzaq, given the business management title, with the CEO holding final approval. There is no CIO or CTO named in the filing, suggesting the executive team evaluates technology directly rather than through a dedicated IT layer.

Mandated and current tech stack

The franchisor mandates two specific systems. For point-of-sale, every location must use the Clover POS System provided by Clover Network, LLC. For accounting, the system mandates QuickBooks Online by Intuit Inc. These are not recommendations; they are requirements written into the franchise agreement. Any vendor pitching an adjacent solution—such as inventory management, scheduling, or customer engagement—must integrate with Clover and coexist with QuickBooks Online to be viable. The FDD does not list any other mandated or recommended technology platforms.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The available Item 8 extract does not describe a procurement model with designated or approved suppliers, so the franchisor’s approach to vendor selection beyond the mandated systems remains unspecified. The franchise agreement includes a 10-year renewal right, but renewal is conditional: the franchisee must sign the then-current agreement, which may contain materially different terms. This creates a predictable cycle where the franchisor can introduce new technology requirements at each renewal window. Vendors should time their outreach to align with these 10-year contract cycles, as that is when the franchisor is most likely to revisit and update its mandated stack.
