Taco 105 Franchise

The vendor opportunity at Taco 105 Franchise

Taco 105 Franchise presents a micro-opportunity for software vendors. The system consists of exactly one unit, which is company-owned. No franchised locations are reported in the 2025 FDD, and our corpus maps no operators beyond the corporate entity. For a vendor, this means the total addressable market is a single location headquartered in New York. The brand is in its earliest stages, with no disclosed year-over-year unit growth and no average unit volume (AUV) published. The royalty rate is set at 5.0%, and the initial franchise term runs 10 years. While the scale is minimal, an early relationship with a nascent franchisor can yield long-term lock-in if expansion occurs.

Who controls software purchasing

All software purchasing authority rests with the two Managing Members named in Item 1 of the 2025 FDD: Daniel Wajdik III and Shirley Picon Lama. There is no CIO, CTO, or separate procurement officer on file. Vendors should direct any pitch to these two individuals, as they function as the sole decision-making body for technology selection. Because the system has no franchisees, there is no multi-unit operator layer to navigate. The buying process is centralized and likely informal given the single-unit scale.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2025 FDD mandates two technology systems. First, a POS/CRM system is required, though the specific vendor is not named in the disclosure. Second, Quickbooks software by Intuit Inc. is mandated for accounting. No other operational, HR, inventory, or marketing technology is listed as required or recommended. For vendors selling adjacent solutions—such as payroll, scheduling, or loyalty platforms—the absence of mandates means there may be an open greenfield, but adoption depends entirely on convincing the two Managing Members of the need.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 of the FDD, which typically outlines procurement restrictions and designated suppliers, contains no extract in our data. This means the franchisor’s procurement model—whether it uses designated suppliers, approved suppliers, or an open market—is not publicly disclosed. Vendors must clarify this directly with HQ. On the renewal side, Item 17 provides for up to two additional 5-year successor terms, contingent on compliance, renovation to then-current standards, and signing the then-current franchise agreement with a general release. With only one unit and a 10-year initial term, software contract windows are not tied to a predictable franchise lifecycle. Any sales cycle will be opportunistic and driven by the Managing Members’ immediate priorities.

How to read the Taco 105 Franchise FDD

The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document for Taco 105 Franchise is available in the embedded viewer on this page. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1 (identifying the Managing Members as the sole decision-makers), Item 11 (mandated POS/CRM and Quickbooks), and Item 17 (renewal conditions that may affect long-term technology planning). Because the system has only one unit and no franchisee base, the FDD is notably thin on operator-level data. Focus your review on the HQ-level mandates and the absence of procurement restrictions, which may signal flexibility for new vendor relationships.
