HQ-led decisions

Burger Factory

Quick service restaurant

Software purchasing at Burger Factory is controlled by Co-CEOs Mohamed Eldakhakhni and Zeinab Saleh at the brand's headquarters. The franchise currently mandates Mealsy for its POS system and QuickBooks for accounting, with a total footprint of just 1 company-owned unit. This represents an extremely limited addressable market for vendors, with no franchised locations disclosed in the 2025 FDD.

The vendor opportunity at Burger Factory

Burger Factory operates as a quick-service restaurant concept with a total footprint of 1 company-owned unit, according to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. No franchised locations are reported, and year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed. The brand does not publish an average unit volume, so vendors cannot size the opportunity based on per-location revenue. For software companies, the addressable market here is effectively a single-location business with no near-term expansion signals in the FDD.

The royalty rate is set at 5.0% of gross sales, and the initial franchise term runs 10 years. A successor term of 10 years is available if the franchisee is in good standing and signs the then-current agreement, which may include materially different terms—including higher royalty and advertising contributions. However, with no franchised units in operation, renewal activity is not a meaningful timing signal for vendors.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2025 FDD lists two executives in Item 1: Mohamed Eldakhakhni and Zeinab Saleh, both serving as Co-Chief Executive Officers. No other C-suite or technology-specific roles are disclosed. For a vendor evaluating the buying center, this means the Co-CEOs are the sole named decision-makers at headquarters. There is no CIO, CTO, or VP of Technology on file, so any software pitch would likely route through these two individuals.

No parent company is listed; Burger Factory appears to be independently owned. The operator footprint contains no mapped franchisees in our corpus, reinforcing that purchasing power is concentrated entirely at the HQ level.

Mandated and current tech stack

Item 11 of the FDD mandates two specific technology systems. The point-of-sale system is Mealsy, listed as "MEALSY (POS system)" and "Mealsy POS." Accounting is handled through QuickBooks by Intuit Inc. These are the only named vendors in the current disclosure. No additional operational, inventory, payroll, or delivery-tech mandates appear in the filing.

For a software vendor, this means the POS and accounting layers are already locked in. Any competing POS or accounting platform would need to displace an incumbent mandate. Adjacent categories—such as online ordering, loyalty, HR, or scheduling—are not addressed in the FDD, leaving the stack open in those areas but with no franchisor-driven procurement signal to leverage.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 of the FDD contains no extract regarding procurement. The brand does not disclose whether it uses designated suppliers, approved suppliers, or an open procurement model. Vendors should assume no franchisor-level procurement path is documented and that purchasing decisions are made ad hoc by HQ.

Item 17 outlines renewal conditions: a franchisee in good standing may add one successor term of 10 years by signing the then-current Franchise Agreement. The new agreement may carry materially different terms, including higher royalties and advertising contributions. Because no franchised units exist, there are no upcoming renewal-driven software evaluation windows to target.

The full 2025 Burger Factory FDD is embedded below. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1 (executives and ownership), Item 11 (mandated technology systems), Item 8 (procurement restrictions), and Item 17 (renewal and term conditions). With only one company-owned unit and no franchised locations, the document provides a narrow but precise picture of the brand's current technology mandates and decision-making structure.
