POSItem 11

Your Computer System (which consists of a personal computer capable of running a Microsoft Windows operating system and a point of sale system approved by us) must be capable of recording financial and customer data and communicating with us. Your point of sale system must record all sales at your Restaurant and be fully compatible with our computer system. Your point of sale system must include an information interface capability to communicate electronically with our computer system to provide us with continuous transaction level point of sale data. Currently, we have approved the Clover point of sale system. This system requires the payment of monthly fees ranging from $84.95 to $150. We may prescribe a different point of sale system or other proprietary computer hardware and software systems, which you will need to purchase. You must purchase or lease, and thereafter maintain, the Computer System, and comply with our requirements, specifications and policies concerning the use of technology as specified in the Franchise Agreement, the Manual or otherwise in writing. We will have the right at any time to retrieve and use the data and information from your Computer System that we deem necessary or desirable. There are no contractual limitations on our right to access this information and data.

The vendor opportunity at Sub Station II

Sub Station II operates 35 quick-service sandwich restaurants across five states: South Carolina (48), North Carolina (13), Kentucky (5), Tennessee (1), and Virginia (1). Of those, 32 are franchised and 3 are company-owned. Year-over-year unit growth is 3.226%, indicating a stable but not rapidly expanding footprint. For software vendors, the addressable market is small but concentrated: a single corporate office in South Carolina controls purchasing for all locations.

Who controls software purchasing

The FDD lists five executives at the corporate level. Ryan Corbett holds the title of Technology Manager, making him the most direct point of contact for software evaluation and implementation. Alison Corbett, Director of Finance and Development, is likely involved in budget approval and vendor contracts. Sandra R. Corbett (Director, President & Secretary) and Susan Owens (Vice President & Director) may sign off on larger commitments. Jerry Queen, Senior Operations Manager, could influence tools that affect store-level workflows. There are no multi-unit franchisees in the system — all 69 mapped operators are single-unit — so HQ is the sole buying center.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2026 FDD names only one technology vendor: Meta. This appears as a mandated or recommended system, though the specific use case (advertising, social, or business tools) is not detailed in the extract. No POS, inventory, scheduling, or other operational software is disclosed as required. This is a greenfield signal for vendors selling operational or back-office tools: the franchise is not locked into a broad mandated stack, and the Technology Manager role suggests an appetite for evaluating new systems.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 of the FDD does not include a procurement extract, so the designated vs. approved supplier model is unknown. Vendors should treat this as an open or lightly controlled procurement environment until confirmed directly with HQ. Item 17 renewal terms require franchisees to renovate, modernize equipment, update menu offerings, and adopt then-current standards before signing a new 10-year agreement. This creates natural software evaluation windows as franchisees approach renewal and must align with updated corporate systems. No specific contract dates are disclosed.
