The Pop Star Party

The vendor opportunity at The Pop Star Party

The Pop Star Party operates a single company-owned unit in the youth-services segment, headquartered in New York. With an average unit volume of $432,970 and a 7.0% royalty rate, the brand’s financial footprint is compact. For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is 1 unit. The franchised unit count is not disclosed in the 2026 FDD, and year-over-year unit growth data is not available. This means the sales opportunity is narrow but highly concentrated at the HQ level.

Who controls software purchasing

Software purchasing authority sits with the executive team named in Item 1 of the 2026 FDD: Matthew LaPorte, Chief Executive Officer, and Donnie Klang, Chief Operating Officer. In a single-unit operation, these individuals are the de facto buying center. Vendors should direct outreach to this leadership group, as no multi-unit operators or regional decision-makers are mapped in our corpus. The absence of a franchised network means there is no distributed purchasing influence.

Mandated and current tech stack

The Pop Star Party mandates two systems: QuickBooks Online by Intuit Inc. for financial management and Roller for operational functions. These are the only named technologies in the FDD. No additional POS, scheduling, or CRM mandates are disclosed. For vendors selling complementary or replacement software, the tech landscape is defined by these two incumbents. Any pitch should address integration or displacement relative to QuickBooks Online and Roller.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 of the FDD does not provide a procurement extract, so the brand’s supplier designation model—whether designated, approved, or open—is not publicly known. Renewal terms, detailed in Item 17, allow a franchisee in good standing to sign a successor agreement for one additional 10-year term, provided they give written notice at least 6 months before expiration, remain compliant, and pay a successor agreement fee. The franchisor may require materially different terms in the new agreement. With only one unit and no disclosed expansion, software contract windows are likely infrequent and driven by HQ-led refresh cycles rather than franchisee-driven demand.
