HQ-led decisions

The Sports Bra

Quick service restaurant

Software purchasing at The Sports Bra is controlled directly by the founding leadership team at its sole Portland, Oregon company-owned location. The brand mandates a consumer-facing, social-delivery tech stack including DoorDash, Grubhub, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, but no operational POS, ERP, or HR systems are named in its 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document. The current addressable market is exactly 1 unit, offering a high-relationship, executive-access sale rather than a scaled rollout.

The vendor opportunity at The Sports Bra

The Sports Bra presents a rare, concentrated software sales opportunity: a single, company-owned quick-service restaurant in Portland, Oregon, with a reported AUV of $893,211 and a 5.0% royalty. The brand, operating under The Sports Bra Hold parent entity, is actively selling franchises as evidenced by the presence of a Director of Franchise Development on the executive team, making this an account with high future expansion value. For a vendor, this means a direct line to the entire decision-making unit without the noise of a multi-unit franchisee base. The entire addressable market is 1 unit, but that unit houses all strategic technology decisions for what could become a growing franchise system.

Who controls software purchasing

Purchasing authority sits squarely with the Portland headquarters. The FDD Item 1 names Jennifer (Jenny) Nguyen as President and CEO, making her the ultimate budget holder and signatory for any software contract. Lindsey Schalock, as Director of Franchise Development, is a critical stakeholder for any platform that supports franchise sales, onboarding, or territory mapping. For operational or marketing tools, Deborah Pleva, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Operations, and Andrea Kelsey, the General Manager, are your go-to evaluators. This is a classic executive-led sale: build a case directly with the C-suite and the operator at the single location.

Mandated and current tech stack

The Sports Bra's mandated technology stack, as extracted from its 2026 FDD, is exclusively front-of-house and consumer-facing. On the delivery aggregation side, DoorDash and Grubhub are mandated, meaning any integration partner must be compatible with how these orders are ingested and managed at the store level. For digital presence, the brand mandates Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, signaling a heavy reliance on social media for customer acquisition. Notably, no point-of-sale, back-office, inventory, scheduling, or loyalty platform is named as mandated or recommended in the FDD. This represents a greenfield for vendors selling POS, workforce management, or accounting software, but also a due-diligence risk: you may be displacing an undisclosed incumbent.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The procurement process is not explicitly outlined by a designated supplier list in the available Item 8 data. This absence typically points to an informal, HQ-driven purchasing process rather than a locked-down approved vendor program. The franchise agreement framework in Item 17 provides a structural renewal window: initial terms run 10 years, with a 5-year renewal term available. Renewals require the franchisee to renovate to “then-current standards,” a clause that frequently triggers technology upgrades and RFPs. While the single unit is company-owned, any new franchisee selling into the system will face these 10 and 5-year technology refresh inflection points, creating a predictable long-tail sales cycle you can build into your pipeline.

Questions vendors ask

The Sports Bra, answered from the filing

The buying center is extremely compact. President and CEO Jennifer (Jenny) Nguyen leads all strategic decisions. Senior Vice President of Marketing and Operations Deborah Pleva and General Manager Andrea Kelsey are likely the hands-on evaluators for any marketing, ops, or delivery-tech software.
The 2026 FDD does not mandate a specific POS, kitchen display, inventory, HR, or accounting system. The only mandated technology platforms visible in Item 11 are consumer-facing delivery aggregators (DoorDash, Grubhub) and social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube).
According to its 2026 FDD, The Sports Bra operates exactly 1 unit, which is company-owned and located in Portland, Oregon. No franchised locations are currently open, and year-over-year unit growth is not applicable.
The procurement model is not detailed in the publicly available extracts. No designated or approved supplier list (Item 8 signal) is present in this data, suggesting an open, unbundled purchasing process where vendors should engage HQ directly to understand current supplier relationships.
With a 10-year initial term and a 5-year renewal term visible in Item 17, major operational software commitments may be long-cycle. However, the single-unit, founder-led structure means that a compelling pitch to HQ executives can open a contract window at any time, not tied to a mass franchisee renewal cycle.
The Sports Bra's 2026 FDD is filed with state franchise regulators. You can explore the full, searchable document in the embedded PDF viewer below, which surfaces key items like Item 11 (tech mandates) and Item 17 (renewal terms) without requiring a download from an external registry.
