Tandoori Pizza
Quick service restaurantSoftware purchasing at Tandoori Pizza is controlled at the corporate level by a small executive team led by CEO/CFO Tejinder Singh and COO Joshita Singh. The chain currently mandates Adora POS and operates 13 total units—10 franchised and 3 company-owned—giving vendors a compact but growing addressable footprint. With 42.9% year-over-year unit growth and a 10-year initial franchise term, the window for technology displacement or add-on sales is tied to new store openings and the renewal cycle.

The vendor opportunity at Tandoori Pizza
Tandoori Pizza is a quick-service restaurant concept headquartered in California with 13 total units—10 franchised and 3 company-owned—as disclosed in its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. The brand grew unit count by 42.9% year-over-year, adding locations in its core state of California (8 units) as well as New York (2) and Pennsylvania (1). For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is the 10 franchised locations, all operated by single-unit franchisees; no multi-unit operators appear in the filing. The chain’s 10-year initial franchise term and a renewal provision that requires adopting the then-current form of agreement create natural inflection points for technology evaluation.
Average unit volume is not disclosed in the most recent FDD, so vendors cannot benchmark revenue-based ROI from public data alone. The royalty rate is 6.5% of gross sales, a figure that may inform a franchisee’s operating margin sensitivity when evaluating new software costs.
Who controls software purchasing
Purchasing authority sits at the corporate level. The 2025 FDD lists two executives in Item 1: Tejinder Singh, who holds the titles of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary, and Joshita Singh, Chief Operating Officer. No parent company is on file, and the brand appears independently owned. With a lean executive roster and no disclosed IT or procurement officer, vendors should expect that technology decisions—from POS to back-office systems—are made or approved directly by these two individuals. The operator base consists entirely of single-unit franchisees, none of whom are mapped as controlling multiple locations, which further concentrates buying power at HQ rather than among franchisee groups.
Mandated and current tech stack
The only technology system mandated in the 2025 FDD is Adora POS. No other operational, accounting, payroll, inventory, or delivery-management platforms are listed as required or recommended. This narrow mandate means the existing tech stack beyond the point-of-sale is either unspecified by the franchisor or left to franchisee discretion. For vendors selling complementary or replacement systems—kitchen display, online ordering, loyalty, labor scheduling—the absence of a published standard represents both an opportunity and a due-diligence requirement: you will need to confirm whether HQ intends to standardize additional categories in the near term.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The 2025 FDD does not include an Item 8 extract detailing procurement rules, so the designated-supplier versus approved-supplier framework is not publicly known. Vendors should ask directly whether Tandoori Pizza operates a closed procurement model or allows franchisees to source from approved alternatives. The renewal terms in Item 17 provide a window into timing: franchisees must sign the then-current form of Franchise Agreement at renewal, which may contain materially different terms, including updated technology requirements. With a 10-year term and the brand’s recent growth spurt, the most accessible sales motion is attaching to new-store openings rather than waiting for renewal cycles. The filing also states that a franchisee must not have committed three or more material defaults in any 18-month period to qualify for renewal, a compliance threshold that may affect a franchisee’s willingness to adopt new systems mid-term.
How to read the Tandoori Pizza FDD
The full 2025 FDD is embedded below. Item 1 identifies the executives and their roles. Item 7 contains the initial investment tables. Item 11 is where the Adora POS mandate appears. Item 17 spells out the renewal conditions, including the requirement to renovate or modernize to then-current standards. Because the FDD does not disclose a parent company or a multi-unit operator base, the document itself is the most complete public record of how this franchise system buys and governs technology. For vendors building a ranked target list of franchise systems, the combination of centralized purchasing, a single mandated tech system, and rapid unit growth makes Tandoori Pizza a candidate worth monitoring. Talk to FranCloud to see how this brand compares against your ideal customer profile across the full franchise universe.
Questions vendors ask
Tandoori Pizza, answered from the filing
Tejinder Singh (CEO, CFO, Secretary) and Joshita Singh (COO) are the named executives in the 2025 FDD. With no parent company and a lean HQ, they likely control all technology vendor decisions directly.
The 2025 FDD mandates Adora POS. No other operational or back-office systems are disclosed as required or recommended in the filing.
13 total units: 10 franchised and 3 company-owned. The operator footprint is concentrated in California (8), New York (2), and Pennsylvania (1).
The 2025 FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the designated-supplier versus approved-supplier structure is not publicly disclosed. Vendors should clarify directly with HQ.
With a 10-year initial term and 42.9% recent unit growth, new-store openings are the most likely trigger. Renewals require signing the then-current franchise agreement, which may reset tech obligations.
The 2025 FDD is filed with state franchise regulators. You can review it using the embedded PDF viewer below to verify mandates, executive contacts, and unit counts directly from the source.
