The vendor opportunity at Spiked Rich
Spiked Rich is a quick-service restaurant brand headquartered in Florida. According to its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the system consists of 2 total units, both company-owned. The number of franchised locations is not disclosed. For software vendors, this represents a compact addressable market: 2 locations with purchasing controlled at the top.
Average unit volume (AUV) is not reported in the FDD. The royalty rate is 6.0%, and the initial franchise term is 10 years. Year-over-year unit growth is not available. There is no parent company on file; Spiked Rich appears to be independently owned.
Who controls software purchasing
Software purchasing authority sits at the headquarters level. The 2025 FDD lists one executive: Jeff Sauders, Chief Executive Officer. With no other named executives and a system of just 2 company-owned units, Sauders is the likely sole decision-maker for technology procurement. Vendors should prepare to engage directly with the CEO.
No multi-unit operators are mapped in our corpus, reinforcing the centralized purchasing model. There is no franchisee buying layer to navigate.
Mandated and current tech stack
Spiked Rich mandates two specific technology platforms. QuickBooks by Intuit Inc. is required for accounting. Square by Block, Inc. is mandated for point-of-sale, and Square Loyalty by Block, Inc. is also mandated. These systems are named in the FDD and represent the core operational stack.
No other mandated or recommended systems are disclosed. The absence of additional named vendors suggests the tech stack is lean, but it also means any new software must integrate with or replace QuickBooks and Square at the CEO’s direction.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the formal procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly known. Vendors will need to clarify this directly with the CEO.
Renewal terms are detailed in Item 17. To renew a 10-year franchise agreement, the franchisee must be in full compliance, have no more than three events of default during the current term, provide written notice at least six months before expiration, execute a new franchise agreement, and pay a Successor Agreement Fee of at least $20,000. The franchisee must also continue to have the right to occupy the premises or receive approval to relocate, remodel the location, execute a general release, and comply with then-current qualifications and training requirements. Critically, the franchisor may ask the franchisee to sign a new agreement with materially different terms and conditions. This renewal trigger—six months before term end—creates a potential window for software evaluation as operators prepare for a new commitment.
