The vendor opportunity at Poke Bar
Poke Bar is a quick-service restaurant concept headquartered in California. As of its 2022 Franchise Disclosure Document, the system comprises 58 total units—39 franchised and 19 company-owned. The brand experienced a year-over-year unit decline of 11.364%, which signals a contracting footprint. For a software vendor, the total addressable market is therefore limited to these 58 locations, with the 19 company-owned units representing the most direct sales path under HQ control.
The brand does not disclose an Average Unit Volume (AUV) in its FDD, making it difficult to model a location’s revenue potential or technology budget. The royalty rate is 6.0% of gross sales, and the initial franchise term runs for 10 years. These economics suggest a lean operating model typical of a smaller, fast-casual chain.
Who controls software purchasing
Software purchasing authority at Poke Bar is concentrated at the headquarters level. The 2022 FDD’s Item 1 lists Jason Park (Principal and Founder), Jeong Hi Ju (Principal and Founder), and Yoon Ho Ju (President) as the sole executives. In a system of this size without a disclosed CIO or VP of Technology, the President and Founders are the de facto technology decision-makers. Vendors should direct any outreach to these individuals, framing the conversation around operational efficiency and franchisee support for the 39 franchised locations.
No multi-unit operators are mapped in our corpus, which further centralizes buying power. There is no parent company on file; the brand appears independently owned.
Mandated and current tech stack
The only technology system mandated by Poke Bar and disclosed in the 2022 FDD is the Clover POS System by Clover Network, LLC. This is the system of record for all franchise and company locations. For a software vendor, this creates both a constraint and an opportunity: any solution must integrate with or complement the Clover ecosystem. Point-of-sale adjacent tools—such as loyalty, online ordering, or labor scheduling—that have proven Clover integrations will have a natural advantage.
No other operational, back-of-house, or enterprise systems are named in the FDD. This absence suggests the brand may be running a relatively light tech stack, or that additional systems are not mandated and left to franchisee discretion.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The 2022 FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the brand’s supplier model—whether designated, approved, or open—is not publicly disclosed. This lack of transparency means a vendor must qualify the procurement process directly with HQ.
On the renewal front, Item 17 provides a clear signal. Franchisees may renew for an additional 10-year term by providing prior written notice, paying a renewal fee (currently $10,000), and executing the then-existing Franchise Agreement. This renewal window is the most predictable trigger for a technology re-evaluation, as franchisees signing a new decade-long agreement may be open to upgrading their systems. However, with negative unit growth, the volume of upcoming renewals may be low.
How to read the Poke Bar FDD
