HQ-led decisions
Your Pie Franchising
Quick service restaurantSoftware purchasing decisions at Your Pie Franchising are controlled at the corporate headquarters in Georgia, where Founder and President Drew French and CEO Kenneth B. Caldwell oversee a 61-unit system. The most recent 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document does not list any mandated or recommended technology vendors, leaving the current tech stack undefined for outside vendors. With 60 franchised locations and a single company-owned store, the addressable market for software sales is modest but concentrated under a single decision-making hub.

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.
How to read the Your Pie FDD
The 2025 Your Pie Franchise Disclosure Document is the primary source for the data cited here. It is filed with state franchise regulators and contains the legally mandated disclosures that govern the franchise relationship. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1 (executives), Item 11 (franchisor assistance, where tech mandates would appear), Item 8 (procurement restrictions), and Item 17 (renewal and termination). The embedded PDF viewer below provides the full document for your due diligence. For a ranked target list of franchise systems matched to your software category, FranCloud can help you prioritize outreach.
Questions vendors ask
Your Pie Franchising, answered from the filing
The 2025 FDD lists Drew French (Founder, President) and Kenneth B. Caldwell (CEO) as key executives. No dedicated CIO or CTO is named, suggesting purchasing authority sits with the president and CEO.
The 2025 FDD does not disclose any mandated or recommended POS, operational, or other technology systems. Vendors should assume no incumbent lock-in but must verify during discovery.
Your Pie has 61 total units in the US: 60 franchised and 1 company-owned. This places it in the small quick-service restaurant segment.
The 2025 FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the designated-supplier versus approved-supplier model is not publicly known. Assume HQ controls vendor selection.
The initial franchise term is 10 years. Renewals allow two successive 5-year terms, contingent on full compliance. Contract windows may align with these renewal cycles or leadership-driven initiatives.
The 2025 Your Pie FDD is filed with state franchise regulators. You can review the embedded PDF viewer below for the full disclosure, including Item 1 executives and Item 17 renewal terms.
