The vendor opportunity at Port of Subs
Port of Subs is a quick-service restaurant chain with 126 total units, of which 119 are franchised and 7 are company-owned. The brand reported an Average Unit Volume of $551,542 in its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, with a 6.0% royalty rate and a standard 10-year initial franchise term. Year-over-year unit growth sits at 4.386%, indicating a slowly expanding footprint. For software vendors, the total addressable market is 126 locations, concentrated under a corporate structure where purchasing decisions appear to flow through the headquarters in Colorado.
Who controls software purchasing
The 2025 FDD Item 1 lists the brand's executive leadership: David L. Liniger (Chairman of the Board), Gail A. Liniger (Director), Adam Contos (Chief Executive Officer & Director), Healey Mendicino, CFE (President & Director), and Daniel J. Predovich (Secretary, Treasurer, Partner, & Director). With no multi-unit operators mapped in our corpus and a heavy franchisee base, the buying center for enterprise software is likely centralized. Vendors should direct outreach to the President and CEO, as these roles typically oversee operational and technology strategy in a system of this size. No separate CIO or CTO is named in the filing.
Mandated and current tech stack
A review of the 2025 FDD reveals no mandated or recommended technology systems. The document does not name a specific point-of-sale vendor, online ordering platform, or back-of-house management tool. This absence of a tech mandate suggests that franchisees may currently select their own systems, subject to any undisclosed approval rights retained by the franchisor. For a vendor, this represents a greenfield opportunity to pitch a standardized solution that could be adopted system-wide, but it also means you will need to prove value directly to the franchisor to secure an endorsement or mandate.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract detailing procurement restrictions. Without this data, the exact model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open market—remains unknown. On the renewal side, Item 17 provides clear conditions: franchisees must not be in default, must provide notice at least 12 months in advance, and must sign the then-current franchise agreement, which may contain materially different terms. The renewal term is the lesser of 10 years or the remaining lease term. The 12-month notice window and potential requirement for remodeling create natural inflection points where franchisees may evaluate new software to comply with updated standards.
