286. The Secret Sauce of a Dynamic Restaurant Brand - Daddy's Chicken Shack

Restaurant Rockstars Podcast

What do a classically trained chef, entertainer and Wall Street trader have in common? A fast-growing restaurant concept born from humble beginnings, and a consistent commitment to simple high-quality ingredients that taste like a warm hug feels… In this episode of the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast I'm speaking with Pace Webb & Chris Georgalas the founders of “Daddy’s Chicken Shack”. This concept offers a twist on the classic fried chicken sandwich, chicken & waffles, salads, breakfast, and vegan options. The unique taste offers a fusion of American Southern with a hint of Asian. It all began on a first date when Chef Pace shared her vision with future husband and Wall Street guy Chris, truly the stuff of restaurant dreams. In this episode of the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast, Pace and Chris tell us: • The secret sauce of a dynamic brand • How phenomenal growth in their first restaurant led to investor backing and a budding franchise • Pandemic pivots • The organization and detail it takes to grow national from one location • Finances, Marketing, Staff Training, and the Labor Shortage And the 1,000 other details it takes to be successful in the restaurant business.
