Our Story
You can soon sink your teeth into owning your own Brooklyn Dumpling Shop, after the highly anticipated concept opens in Spring 2021! It has already been named to QSR’s The 40/40 List for 2021: America’s Hottest Startup Fast Casuals.
Stratis Morfogen is an established restaurateur who has handcrafted 32 delicious flavors of dumplings to be served in a 24hour automat. The entire concept will be touchless and contactless keeping customers and staff safe while being able to deliver consistent hot and fresh food. It’s the first dumpling franchise to go completely touch-free.
Utilizing the once common Automat allows the brand to keep customers and employees safe by eliminating a point of contact but also regulate the temperature of each locker ensuring food stays piping hot or drinks perfectly chilled. Customers will receive a unique code on their phone which opens only their lockers. This ensures the correct food is taken every time and makes it fast and easy for third party delivery services. Customers will be able to order online or at self sanitizing kiosks in store.
This revolutionary concept will shake the QSR industry as plans to open 500 units in the next 5 years are underway. Brooklyn Dumpling Shop hopes to be in every train station, airport, strip mall, and shopping center in the top mass media markets both nationally and world wide.

“THESE EXCITING NEW dumplings WILL BREAK THE INTERNET!”
Rachel Ray
“OMG, OMG! This is the most innovative idea I've ever seen... Bacon Cheeseburger & Pastrami Dumplings”
Patti Labelle
Singer, Author, Entrepreneur, Legend
“This is all about disruption. Disrupting the QSR industry, disrupting traditional kitchen operations, disrupting traditional 30 percent payrolls and bringing back the greatest product distribution machine ever created, the Automat. We believe we’ve created the Tesla of automats, all controlled from your smartphone. I’m excited to show the world our revolutionary new QSR from the 100% contactless drive-thru, to our guests’ relationship with our Automat. Grow big and grow fast. That’s the ethos of our partnership with Fransmart led by Dan Rowe.”
Stratis Morforgen
Brooklyn Dumpling Shop and Brooklyn Chop House Founder
“I’ve never seen anything like Brooklyn Dumpling Shop. Once customers try it, they will be hooked. This is the right concept at the right time – high volume, small footprint, tech-forward, fully co-packed menu built for speed, accuracy and incredible taste. The contactless format is the solution to the biggest problem the restaurant industry is currently facing. It is perfect for franchising and we already have prospects who want to open locations in airports and the largest malls in the country. There will be 1,000 locations across North America and in the top 25 mass gathering areas around the world.”
