The vendor opportunity at Vincent's Clam Bar
Vincent's Clam Bar is a quick-service-restaurant brand headquartered in New York, with 1 company-owned location and no franchised units currently operating. The initial franchise term runs 10 years at a 5% royalty, and Item 19 of the FDD makes a financial performance representation.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 names Anthony Marisi and Robert Marisi as officers. Two operators are mapped to the system, one each in New Jersey and New York, running one located unit apiece — a small enough footprint that HQ, not a distributed operator base, is the practical buying center for the POSiTouch and Restaurant365 mandates below.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Item 11 obliges the location to run POSiTouch for point of sale and Restaurant365 for back-office accounting — the two contractually mandated systems. Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter are also named under Item 11, though nothing requires their use.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Vincent's Clam Bar runs an approved-supplier list under Item 8: proprietary sauces currently come from affiliate Vincent's Food Corp., and every other product must meet the franchisor's standards from an approved list, with franchisees able to propose new suppliers for approval. Item 17 renewals are automatic, with the franchisor sending renewal paperwork roughly six months before the term ends and franchisees required to pay a fee and sign a release; the initial and renewal terms both run 10 years.
