Your Pie Franchising

The vendor opportunity at Your Pie

Your Pie Franchising operates 61 quick-service pizza restaurants, 60 of which are franchised and one company-owned. The brand reported an average unit volume of $877,668 in its 2025 FDD. Year-over-year unit growth declined by 9.09%, signaling a contracting footprint that may still present a consolidation opportunity for software vendors who can demonstrate operational efficiency gains across a small, centrally managed system.

The addressable market is 61 locations, all under the control of the corporate headquarters in Georgia. Because the franchisor does not disclose any mandated technology systems, the current stack is a blank slate from an outside vendor’s perspective. This lack of incumbent disclosure can be an advantage: there is no publicly entrenched competitor to unseat, but it also means you must invest in discovery to map the existing tools.

Who controls software purchasing

According to Item 1 of the 2025 FDD, the executive team includes Drew French, who serves as Founder, Director, and President, and Kenneth B. Caldwell, Chief Executive Officer. Lisa Dimson holds the Chief Marketing Officer role, and Justin Patterson is Vice President of Operations. David Barr serves as Chairman of the Board. No chief information officer or chief technology officer is listed, which is common for a system of this size. In practice, software purchasing decisions likely rest with the President and CEO, with operational input from the VP of Operations and marketing technology input from the CMO.

For a vendor, the initial outreach should target the President or CEO, as they hold the highest authority over strategic vendor selection. The absence of a dedicated technology executive means the sales cycle may be shorter but will require clear ROI communication tailored to a general-management audience.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2025 FDD does not capture any mandated or recommended technology systems. There are no named POS providers, no online ordering platforms, no loyalty or marketing automation tools, and no back-of-house or inventory management systems disclosed. This is not unusual for smaller franchise systems that may rely on a patchwork of locally selected tools or a single, privately negotiated vendor relationship not disclosed in the FDD.

For a software vendor, this means the competitive landscape is unknown from public filings alone. You should approach Your Pie prepared to conduct a thorough needs assessment, as the brand may be operating on legacy systems or may have recently adopted tools that are not yet reflected in franchise disclosure documents.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract detailing procurement restrictions or designated suppliers. Without this signal, assume that all purchasing decisions are made or approved at the corporate level, with franchisees required to follow HQ directives. The initial franchise agreement term is 10 years. Item 17 outlines that compliant franchisees may renew for two successive 5-year terms, though the renewal agreement may be materially different from the original.

These renewal windows—every 5 years after the initial 10-year term—can serve as natural inflection points for technology evaluation. Additionally, the recent 9.09% unit decline may prompt leadership to seek operational efficiencies through new software investments, making the current period potentially receptive to vendor outreach.
