RestoPros

The vendor opportunity at RestoPros

RestoPros is a home-services franchise headquartered in North Carolina with 93 total units, 91 of which are franchised. The system generated an average unit volume (AUV) of $1,336,629, and franchisees pay a 7.0% royalty on a standard 10-year initial term. For a software vendor, the addressable market is 91 franchised locations. The operator footprint is entirely single-unit owners—104 mapped operators run 104 located units, with zero multi-unit franchisees in the 2–9, 10–24, or 25+ unit bands. This fragmentation means you are selling to individual business owners, but the purchasing decision itself is centralized.

The geographic spread is concentrated but national. The top states are Texas (16 units), Florida (10), Georgia (8), Ohio (6), and Pennsylvania (6). No parent company is on file; RestoPros appears to be independently owned. Year-over-year unit growth is not captured in the available data, so the system’s trajectory is unclear from the FDD alone.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2026 FDD identifies two executives in Item 1: Alex Blair, Chief Executive Officer, and Shannon Roderick, President. In a system of this size—under 100 units—these two individuals are the likely buying center for any enterprise-level software decision. There is no CIO, CTO, or VP of Technology listed. A vendor’s path to a pilot or system-wide deal almost certainly runs through Blair or Roderick. Because there are no multi-unit operators, franchisees are unlikely to have independent procurement authority for core operational systems; the franchisor controls the standards.

Mandated and current tech stack

The most critical finding for any vendor is what the FDD does not say. The 2026 disclosure contains no mandated or recommended technology systems. There is no named POS provider, no scheduling or dispatch platform, no CRM, and no field-service management tool listed in the captured data. This is unusual and represents a significant opening. Either the franchise operates without a standardized tech stack—meaning each of the 91 franchisees selects their own tools—or the franchisor has not formalized those requirements in the FDD. In either case, a vendor who can demonstrate value at the unit level and gain HQ endorsement has a first-mover advantage.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 of the FDD, which typically outlines purchasing restrictions and designated suppliers, provided no extract in the available data. The procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is therefore not disclosed. This lack of a published procurement framework further supports the view that the system is early in its technology standardization journey.

Renewal terms, captured from Item 17, offer timing signals. The initial franchise agreement runs for 10 years. To renew, a franchisee must give written notice at least 180 days before expiration, pay a $2,500 renewal fee, sign the then-current agreement (which may include higher fees), and complete refresher training. The franchisor can also require renovation and re-equipping of the business. These renewal windows are natural triggers for technology evaluation. With 91 franchised units on staggered 10-year cycles, there is a rolling set of opportunities to displace incumbent tools or introduce new systems as part of the renewal-driven upgrade process.

How to read the RestoPros FDD

The embedded PDF viewer below contains the full RestoPros FDD filed with state franchise regulators in 2026. For software vendors, the key sections are Item 11 (Franchisor’s Obligations) to confirm the absence or presence of mandated technology, Item 8 (Restrictions on Sources of Products and Services) to understand procurement rules, and Item 19 (Financial Performance Representations) to validate the $1.34 million AUV and assess unit-level ability to pay for software. Item 17, covering renewal and termination, is essential for timing your outreach to coincide with contractual inflection points.
