From the filings
Lukumades Franchise
Quick service restaurantSoftware purchasing at Lukumades Franchise flows through a lean HQ team led by CEO Exarchos Sourligkas and Operations Manager John Sourligkas. The brand mandates Revel by Revel Systems, Inc. as its point-of-sale system across its single franchised location. With only 1 unit operating, the addressable market is extremely small, but vendors targeting early-stage franchise systems can use this profile to understand the decision-making structure and tech stack before the brand scales.

The vendor opportunity at Lukumades
Lukumades is a quick-service restaurant franchise headquartered in New York. According to its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the system consists of exactly 1 franchised unit. The number of company-owned locations is not disclosed. Average unit volume (AUV) is not reported in the FDD, and year-over-year unit growth is not available. For software vendors, this is a single-location account with a centralized purchasing structure — a narrow but clearly defined target.
The franchise operates under a 10-year initial term with a 6.0% royalty. Renewal is possible for an additional 10 years, subject to conditions including a remodel, a new agreement, a general release, and a renewal fee. The small unit count means any software sale is a one-off engagement unless the brand begins adding locations.
Who controls software purchasing
Purchasing authority sits at the HQ level. The FDD lists four individuals in Item 1. Exarchos Sourligkas serves as Chief Executive Officer, Director, and Founder — the ultimate decision-maker for any technology investment. John Sourligkas, Operations Manager for the USA and Middle East, is the most likely operational buyer for systems that touch store-level workflows. Antoinette Georgia Adam, Director of Human Resources, may be the point of contact for HR or payroll platforms. Chris Hionides is identified as Area Representative for Florida, which is notable given the single-unit footprint; he may influence or manage that location's operational needs.
No parent company is on file, and the brand appears independently owned. There are no additional operators mapped in our corpus beyond what the FDD discloses. This means the buying center is extremely compact — likely just the CEO and Operations Manager for most software categories.
Mandated and current tech stack
The 2025 FDD mandates one technology system: Revel by Revel Systems, Inc. serves as the point-of-sale platform. No other mandated or recommended vendors appear in the filing. This creates a clear competitive landscape for POS-adjacent integrations — payments, loyalty, online ordering, or kitchen display systems that complement Revel — but also means the core POS is locked in for the current franchisee.
For any other software category — accounting, inventory, scheduling, HR, or marketing — the FDD is silent. Vendors should assume an open field but must confirm directly with HQ whether any preferred-vendor relationships exist outside the four corners of the disclosure document.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD, which typically outlines procurement restrictions and designated suppliers, is not extracted in our data. Without that signal, we cannot confirm whether Lukumades requires franchisees to buy from specific suppliers or whether an approved-supplier program exists. Software vendors should treat this as an unknown and ask about procurement rules during initial outreach.
Renewal timing is clearer. The franchise agreement runs for 10 years. To renew, the franchisee must give 180 days' prior written notice, sign the then-current form of agreement, pay a renewal fee, remodel the restaurant to current standards, and secure continued premises rights. For a single-unit system, the renewal window is the most predictable trigger for a tech re-evaluation. If the brand adds units, each new location represents a fresh buying opportunity tied to its own 10-year cycle.
How to read the Lukumades FDD
The full 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below. It is the definitive source for Item 1 executive listings, Item 11 technology mandates, Item 17 renewal conditions, and any procurement terms not captured in our extract. Reviewing the FDD directly lets you verify the Revel mandate, confirm the exact renewal language, and spot any additional supplier requirements that may affect your sales approach. The document is filed with state franchise regulators and is publicly available.
