Rail · incumbent

Toast (mandated) + NCR Voyix
Loyalty: Paytronix

Mix · procurement

348 company-owned / 122 franchised · +19.6% units YoY
approved_supplier

Why now

The single cleanest displacement in the set. Toast is a mandated brand standard, and Paytronix appears as a named line item in the fee table at $124 per shop per month inside a $1,165 monthly technology bundle. Thanx does not have to move the POS — only the loyalty line — and that cost is already public. 74% of the estate is company-operated, so one signature deploys 348 shops on day one. Units grew 19.6% year over year.

Who to target

Franchisor-controlled and corporate-heavy. With 348 of 470 shops company-owned, this is a single HQ decision with no franchisee ratification required. Marketing owns the business case; IT owns integration sign-off.

First-call line

Your FDD prices Paytronix at $124 a shop a month inside a $1,165 tech bundle. You already mandate Toast. We can put loyalty on the POS you already run, show ticket-level attribution Paytronix can't, and give you one number to compare against that $124.

Rail · incumbent

Olo (remote-ordering partner across delivery)
Loyalty: Punchh

Mix · procurement

175 company-owned / 328 franchised · public company
approved_supplier

Why now

The FDD names the loyalty programme and the vendor in the same sentence: Loco Rewards runs on Punchh. Every third-party delivery fee is quoted with Olo 1.35% of Gross Sales — Olo is load-bearing infrastructure. Unit growth is near-flat; same-store frequency becomes the board conversation.

Who to target

Franchisor-controlled. POS is a mandated Oracle Micros stack and loyalty is a brand standard from HQ. Named CTO and CMO mean technical and commercial evaluations run in parallel.

First-call line

Loco Rewards runs on Punchh, and every delivery order already pays Olo 1.35%. You have the rails. The question is whether the loyalty layer gives you guest-level frequency data you can act on — or a discount engine you can't attribute.
