HQ-led decisions
Wild Eggs
Full service restaurantWild Eggs' most recent FDD, from 2023, reports 15 locations — 12 company-owned and 3 franchised — at an average unit volume of $2,114,788, which makes software purchasing an HQ decision with almost no franchisee base to sell around. Item 1 names Andy Abbajay as CEO and Clifford Harris as CFO, with no CIO or CTO disclosed, so the finance seat is the likely evaluator for back-office systems. The filing mandates three things — Restaurant365, Facebook and Yelp — and names Sysco and Toast without requiring either.

The vendor opportunity at Wild Eggs
Wild Eggs is a full-service restaurant brand headquartered in Kentucky, and the most recent FDD on file is from 2023. That filing reports 15 total locations — 12 company-owned and only 3 franchised — at an average unit volume of $2,114,788, with a 5.5% royalty and a 10-year initial term. Year-over-year unit growth is not available. Two things follow. At just over $2.1M a unit, 15 locations imply roughly $32M of annual system volume. And with 12 of 15 units company-owned, this is not a franchise-sales motion: it is an enterprise sale to one head office that happens to have a franchise programme attached.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 1 names five people. Andy Abbajay is CEO and Clifford Harris is CFO; George Wooten is SVP Franchise Sales, Drew Willis is Corporate Executive Chef, and Will Rush is Regional Training Manager. No CIO, CTO, or other technology officer is disclosed in the most recent FDD. That absence is the routing instruction: with a CFO named and a mandated accounting platform in place, back-office and financial systems run through finance, while anything touching the guest experience or the kitchen goes through the executive chef and the training manager.
Wild Eggs sits under eggheadz; the nature of that parent relationship is not disclosed in the most recent FDD. Our own operator mapping finds 3 operators, none of them multi-unit, across roughly 3 located units, all in Kentucky. With 12 of 15 units company-owned there is no franchisee association or multi-unit operator to route around.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
This filing is unusual for mandating anything at all, and it mandates three things. Restaurant365, Facebook and Yelp are each systems the FDD obliges the franchisee to use. The three are not equivalent as targets: Restaurant365 is a back-office platform covering accounting, inventory and labour, and displacing it means arguing against a written obligation. Facebook and Yelp are channel obligations rather than purchased software, so their presence says the brand centralises its marketing and reputation posture, not that a marketing-technology budget is spoken for.
Two further names appear without being required. Sysco and Toast are each named only — mentions in the document, with nothing in the filing requiring either. Neither should be treated as a contracted incumbent: a POS name in the text is not a POS standard. On the face of this FDD, point of sale, payments, distribution, scheduling and guest engagement are open; the back office is not.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 is where designated-supplier and approved-supplier obligations normally sit, and this filing produced no Item 8 extract, so whether Wild Eggs runs a designated, approved, or open procurement model is not established by the data we hold — the three technology mandates are the hard procurement signals we have. Item 17 gives the renewal shape without much detail: a franchisee in full compliance with all terms and conditions, and eligible for renewal, may acquire two successor franchise terms of 5 years each, ten additional years on top of the 10-year initial term. The current filing is from 2023, so the nearer timing signal is a refreshed disclosure rather than a renewal cycle.
How to read the Wild Eggs FDD
The 2023 document was filed with state franchise regulators, and the full PDF is embedded in the viewer below. Item 1 gives the executives named above and the chain up to eggheadz; Item 8 covers supplier obligations; Item 11 covers computer systems and required technology, where the Restaurant365, Facebook and Yelp obligations belong; Item 17 covers renewal and the successor terms; Item 20 carries the unit tables behind the 15-unit count.

Questions vendors ask
Wild Eggs, answered from the filing
Item 1 names Andy Abbajay, CEO, as the signer and Clifford Harris, CFO, as the budget holder — with no CIO or CTO disclosed in the most recent FDD, the finance seat is the likeliest evaluator for back-office systems. George Wooten (SVP Franchise Sales), Drew Willis (Corporate Executive Chef) and Will Rush (Regional Training Manager) complete the list.
Three. The 2023 FDD obliges the franchisee to use Restaurant365, Facebook and Yelp — so restaurant back-office accounting plus the social and review channels are occupied. Sysco and Toast are named only; the filing requires neither, so point of sale and distribution read as open rather than incumbent-held.
The 2023 FDD reports 15 total locations, 12 company-owned and 3 franchised, in the full-service restaurant segment; year-over-year unit growth is not available. Our mapping places roughly 3 of those units at a physical address, all in Kentucky, where the brand is headquartered; the rest are not located in our data.
Not established. Item 8 — where designated-supplier and approved-supplier requirements live — produced no extract from this filing, so we cannot say whether the brand runs a designated, approved, or open model. The hard signals we do hold are the three technology mandates in the filing.
The initial term is 10 years, and a franchisee in full compliance and eligible for renewal may acquire two successor terms of 5 years each — ten additional years in total. The FDD does not detail further renewal conditions. The current filing is from 2023, so a refreshed disclosure is the nearer signal.
It was filed with state franchise regulators in 2023. The full PDF is embedded in the viewer below — read Item 1 for executives and the entity chain, Item 8 for supplier obligations, Item 11 for computer systems and required technology, Item 17 for renewal, and Item 20 for the unit tables.
