Taim Mediterranean Kitchen Franchising

The vendor opportunity at Taim Mediterranean Kitchen

Taim Mediterranean Kitchen is a quick-service restaurant concept operating 13 company-owned locations, with no franchised units reported in the 2025 FDD. The brand generated an average unit volume (AUV) of $1,367,006.95. For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is limited to these 13 units, all controlled by parent company Craveworthy LLC. The brand's unit growth year-over-year is not disclosed, and the operator footprint shows only single-unit operators across five states: Virginia, Minnesota, Iowa, Washington, and Michigan. This is a small, centralized target with no multi-unit franchisee layer to sell into.

Who controls software purchasing

All purchasing authority sits with Craveworthy LLC's headquarters in Illinois. The 2025 FDD Item 1 lists the management team responsible for the brand. Joshua Halpern serves as Chief Business Officer, a role that typically oversees vendor partnerships and technology investment. Justin Egan, Vice President of Marketing, may influence customer-facing and digital tools. Kristin Albert, Senior Vice President of Operations, is a likely stakeholder for operational software. Gregg Majewski is listed as Manager. Vendors should direct pitches to this HQ group rather than to individual store operators, who have no independent buying power.

Mandated and current tech stack

The only mandated technology disclosed in the 2025 FDD is the point-of-sale system: Toast POS by Toast, Inc. This is required across all locations. No other operational, accounting, inventory, or HR systems are named as mandated or recommended in the filing. For vendors selling complementary or replacement technology, the known presence of Toast provides a starting point for integration discussions. Any solution that sits on top of or alongside Toast—such as loyalty, delivery aggregation, or labor scheduling—would need to align with this existing mandate.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, meaning the brand's procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly defined. This lack of transparency means vendors must engage directly with HQ to understand purchasing requirements. Regarding contract timing, the franchise agreement carries a 10-year initial term. Item 17 outlines renewal conditions: franchisees in good standing may enter a successor agreement for an additional 10 years, subject to modernization requirements and a successor franchise fee. However, since no franchised units currently exist, renewal-driven software evaluation cycles are not yet a factor. Vendors should monitor for any announcement of franchise expansion, which would create new implementation opportunities.
