Who buys here
The buyer at this brand
The decision-maker a vendor sells to at this scale, and the gaps they’re paid to close — derived from the corpus by segment and unit count, not a guess.
The franchisee/operator personally, or a small franchisor still owner-run. Wears every hat.

- With 298 active personal services brands, I can't see which ones are growing or have the tech gaps my product fills, so I waste weeks chasing the wrong targets.A rep burning 10 hours/week on manual research at $50/hr loses $26,000/year. FranCloud's fit_scoring and corpus_search surface high-fit brands in seconds, reclaiming that time for selling.
- 68.6% of brands mandate no accounting system, meaning 93 brands are ripe for displacement, but I lack the unit-count and financial context to prioritize them.Focusing on the wrong 10 brands costs a rep 2+ deals per quarter. FranCloud's fit_scoring layers AUV and unit growth onto tech gaps, so reps chase only the 93 with real revenue potential.
- Even when I know which brands to target, I can't get reliable decision-maker contacts for the 277 brands with disclosed unit counts.SDRs spend 5+ hours/week hunting contacts. FranCloud's contact_enrichment delivers verified contacts in-line, saving 260 hours/year per rep and adding 15% more meetings.

The vendor opportunity at YorPub
YorPub is a personal-services brand operating under YB Holdings, LLC. According to its 2023 Franchise Disclosure Document, the system consists of a single company-owned unit. No franchised locations are reported, and year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed. The average unit volume stands at $141,180, with a royalty rate of 7.0% and an initial franchise term of 5 years. For software vendors, the addressable market is precisely one location, making this a highly targeted, single-account opportunity.
Who controls software purchasing
All purchasing authority appears to rest with Kevin Shufelt, the Chief Executive Officer and the only executive named in the FDD’s Item 1. There is no indication of a multi-unit operator layer or decentralized buying. Vendors should direct all outreach to the HQ level, recognizing that the decision-making process is likely centralized under Shufelt and the parent entity, YB Holdings, LLC.
Mandated and current tech stack
The 2023 FDD mandates QuickBooks by Intuit Inc. as the sole required technology system. No other point-of-sale, scheduling, payroll, or CRM platforms are disclosed as mandated or recommended. This creates a narrow window for vendors offering complementary solutions that integrate with QuickBooks, though any pitch must acknowledge the brand’s minimal existing tech footprint.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD does not provide an extract describing a procurement model, so it is unknown whether YorPub uses designated suppliers, an approved-supplier program, or an open purchasing environment. Renewal terms, outlined in Item 17, allow franchisees in good standing to renew for two additional five-year terms, subject to the franchisor’s sole discretion regarding territory withdrawal. With no unit growth reported and a single existing location, contract windows are likely tied to the renewal cycle of that one unit rather than to new openings.
