The vendor opportunity at Tous Les Jours
Tous Les Jours is a quick-service restaurant franchise operating 149 US locations, with 146 franchised and 3 company-owned units. The brand is part of CJ Foodville USA, Inc. and posted an average unit volume of $1,944,938 in its most recent disclosure. Year-over-year unit growth stands at 39.048%, signaling an expanding footprint that software vendors can target for new installations or displacement of incumbent systems.
The franchise network is concentrated under a single parent entity with centralized control over technology mandates. For SaaS vendors selling into multi-unit foodservice, this means a single sales motion can unlock access to nearly 150 locations. The royalty rate is 5%, and the initial franchise term runs 10 years, giving operators a long horizon to amortize technology investments.
Who controls software purchasing
Purchasing authority sits at the corporate level. The 2025 FDD lists Hun Soo Ahn as President and Chief Executive Officer, Kihwan Kim as Chief Financial Officer, Regina Schneider as Chief Marketing Officer, Taeyun Kim as Chief Development Officer, and Jeong Whan Cho as Director of West Business Division. No separate franchisee purchasing cooperative or multi-unit operator group is disclosed in the available data. Vendors should expect to engage this HQ leadership team for any enterprise-wide software evaluation.
Because the franchisor mandates specific technology systems, the decision to add or replace software will almost certainly involve the C-suite and the Chief Development Officer, who oversees unit expansion and operational standards. The CMO may also weigh in on customer-facing platforms given the brand's reliance on delivery and catering integrations.
Mandated and current tech stack
Tous Les Jours already requires three named technology systems across its network. The point-of-sale system is provided by Inoview, Inc. and is mandated for all locations. Delivery is handled through DoorDash by DoorDash, Inc., also mandated. Catering orders flow through ezCater, another mandated platform. These three vendors form the operational backbone of the franchise's tech stack.
For software vendors, this creates both constraints and opportunities. Any solution that must integrate with the POS will need to work alongside Inoview. Delivery and catering are locked into DoorDash and ezCater respectively, but adjacent categories—such as inventory management, labor scheduling, loyalty, or analytics—remain open for evaluation. The FDD does not list any additional mandated systems beyond these three.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract detailing the procurement model. It is not disclosed whether Tous Les Jours uses a designated supplier program, an approved supplier list, or an open procurement process. Vendors should clarify this directly during initial conversations with HQ.
Renewal timing offers a predictable window for technology discussions. The initial franchise agreement runs 10 years and can be renewed for two additional consecutive terms of 5 years each. To renew, franchisees must give written notice between 12 and 18 months before the term ends, meet all financial and operational obligations, execute a general release, and comply with then-current qualification and training requirements. They must also renovate the outlet to reflect current system standards and pay a renewal fee equal to 50% of the then-current initial franchise fee. These renewal checkpoints create natural moments when franchisees—and the franchisor—reassess operational tools.
