The New York Butcher Shoppe
Retail foodSoftware purchasing at The New York Butcher Shoppe is controlled at the affiliate level by co-founders James (Jim) Tindal and Robert Todd (Todd) Prochaska, with no multi-unit operators in the system. The franchise’s most recent FDD (2026) does not disclose any mandated or recommended technology vendors, leaving the tech stack largely undefined. With 42 total units—32 franchised and 10 company-owned—and 28% year-over-year unit growth, the addressable market is small but expanding rapidly across the Southeast and Texas.

The vendor opportunity at The New York Butcher Shoppe
The New York Butcher Shoppe operates 42 locations—32 franchised and 10 company-owned—across five states, with the heaviest concentration in South Carolina (10), North Carolina (6), and Georgia (6). The brand posted 28% year-over-year unit growth in its most recent filing, signaling an active development pipeline. Average unit volume sits at $1,696,201, a figure that suggests healthy per-location revenue and the operational complexity that typically drives software adoption. For vendors, the opportunity is not in a large installed base but in a fast-growing, tightly held system where a single relationship with HQ can unlock the entire footprint.
Who controls software purchasing
Purchasing authority at The New York Butcher Shoppe rests with the co-founders of the affiliate: James (Jim) Tindal and Robert Todd (Todd) Prochaska. The operator footprint data confirms zero multi-unit franchisees—all 36 mapped operators run a single location. This structure concentrates technology decisions at the top. A vendor’s path to adoption runs through Tindal and Prochaska; there is no layer of large franchisee groups to navigate separately. The absence of a parent company or private equity sponsor further simplifies the org chart.
Mandated and current tech stack
The 2026 FDD does not identify any mandated or recommended technology systems. No POS provider, back-office platform, inventory management tool, or online ordering vendor is named. This absence is itself a data point: the system likely operates with a mix of legacy or operator-chosen tools, or the franchisor has not yet formalized a tech stack. For software vendors, this means the field is open. A pitch that demonstrates operational lift—particularly around inventory, labor, or customer engagement for a premium retail food concept—can resonate without the hurdle of displacing an incumbent mandate.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD, which typically outlines purchasing restrictions and approved suppliers, contains no extract in the current filing. This suggests either a permissive procurement environment or one that is not yet codified in the disclosure document. Renewal terms, captured in Item 17, require full compliance with the franchise agreement, adherence to current specifications, execution of a release, and payment of a renewal fee. Critically, the renewal franchise agreement “may be materially different” from the existing one—a clause that could introduce new technology mandates at renewal. With 10-year terms and a recent growth spurt, the most actionable window for vendors is new unit onboarding, where process and tooling decisions are made fresh.

Questions vendors ask
The New York Butcher Shoppe, answered from the filing

The 2026 FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract. The franchise’s designated-supplier or approved-supplier status for technology is not publicly disclosed.
