The vendor opportunity at S&T
S&T operates as a quick service restaurant brand with a single company-owned unit. The franchised unit count is not disclosed in the 2025 FDD, and year-over-year unit growth is not available. For a software vendor, the addressable market is currently limited to this one location, with purchasing decisions centralized at the headquarters level. The brand’s average unit volume is not disclosed, and the royalty rate stands at 7.0% on an initial term of 3 years.
Who controls software purchasing
Two executives are named in Item 1 of the FDD: Brian Giaretta, Owner and President, and Michael Anthony DeQuattro, Chief Operations Officer and Sales Officer. In a single-unit, company-owned structure, these individuals are the de facto decision-makers for any software evaluation or procurement. Vendors should direct their outreach to these roles, as no other operational or IT leadership is listed.
Mandated and current tech stack
The only mandated technology system disclosed in the 2025 FDD is QuickBooks by Intuit Inc. No additional point-of-sale, payroll, inventory, or scheduling platforms are named as required or recommended. This creates a potential opening for vendors offering complementary solutions that integrate with QuickBooks, though any pitch must acknowledge the brand’s current minimal tech footprint.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD provides no extract regarding procurement policies, so it is unknown whether S&T uses a designated supplier model, an approved supplier list, or an open procurement process. The franchise agreement includes a renewal provision: a compliant franchisee can acquire a successor franchise for two additional terms of 5 years each, subject to conditions such as signing a release, meeting training requirements, upgrading equipment, and paying a successor franchise fee. The renewal agreement may contain materially different terms. These renewal windows represent the most likely trigger for technology re-evaluation.
