Charismatic Couple Uses Combined Culinary Passion and Technology-Driven Operations to Grow Emerging Chicken Franchise

December 09, 2021 // Franchising.com // PASADENA, Calif. - All eyes are on Daddy’s Chicken Shack as the emerging chicken concept presents an impressive early sales growth of 200% and cooks up a franchise development strategy that’s appealing to multi-unit operators’ tastebuds across the nation.

Bursting onto California’s culinary scene in 2018, Daddy’s Chicken Shack has quickly established itself as a top contender in the fast casual industry, garnering rave reviews from celebrities, investors and foodies alike. As the Pasadena-rooted brand continues to heat up, entrepreneurial couple Pace Webb and Chris Georgalas have all the ingredients needed for rapid growth: unique flavor, technology-driven operations and a forthcoming prototype designed to support today’s consumer.

“As a fourth-generation entertainer, bringing people together with good food and an unforgettable experience is in my blood,” said Webb, acclaimed chef and caterer who was inspired by her close-knit family to launch Daddy’s Chicken Shack. “We’re confident, yet humbled by our early growth and absolutely thrilled to enter this new era of development. By franchising, we will be able to share our ray of sunshine with the world, as well as a unique spin on an American staple.”

A distinct differentiator, Daddy’s Chicken Shack stands out in the chicken sandwich craze by offering some of the most unique flavor pairings, which happen to be inspired by Pace and Chris’ combined cultures. Each chicken sandwich captures Pace’s American Southern roots while incorporating Southeast Asian and Japanese flavors as a nod to Chris, who is half-Japanese. Daddy’s signature chicken items - like sandwiches, sliders and nuggets - are perfectly paired with buttermilk and aromatics for a double-battered crispy delight. Other options on their menu include all-day breakfast, a variety of fresh salads, and vegan chicken nuggets and sandwiches, which are coated in a delicious coconut curry milk, brined cauliflower and sambal mayo for a flavorful experience.

To support a fresh and quality dining experience, Daddy’s Chicken Shack is a fast-casual concept equipped with world-class QSR technology and kitchen efficiencies. The brand’s flagship location, set to open in the heights area of Houston, Texas in February 2022, will feature a state-of-the-art kitchen design with dual production lines. One side prepares drive-thru and mobile orders while the other side prepares food for the dining room - providing all guests with a seamless ordering and dining process. The 3,400 sq.ft. location will serve as a catalyst for a larger brand presence across the nation and house the franchise training center.  The design encompasses the familiarity of comforting nostalgia, Southern American design, and Wabi Sabi (Japanese for perfect imperfection), with many details paying homage to Pace’s Texas family farm in a way that is charming but minimalistic. The layout features a laid-back feel which allows customers to kick back and relax as they enjoy a meal.

“The hospitality obsessed, technology supported concept that we’ve always dreamed about is now becoming a reality. We have built a concept that allows our customers to experience Daddy’s how they want to and where they want to in any given scenario that they may find themselves in. There are approximately 10 to 12 different ways to order and just as many ways to pick-up / hand-off our food.” said Georgalas. “Our processes and systems are fine-tuned and will ultimately make our food service fast, accurate and efficient allowing our staff to deliver “warm hug” hospitality with a smile.

As Daddy’s Chicken Shack opens its doors to multi-unit restaurant operators, the duo has an experienced franchise growth team in its corner - Dave Liniger, co-founder of RE/MAX and Dr. Ben Litalien, principal of Franchise Well Consulting who also teaches the Franchise Management program at Georgetown University - to guide them in their new business venture.

“Pace and Chris remind me of myself at a young age, wanting to create unique opportunities for others while disrupting the traditional business model,” said Liniger. “I was inspired by their charismatic energy and ‘go-getter’ attitude in order to make their dreams a reality, while raising a family of their own. Their vision in particular is what sets them apart from other entrepreneurs as their vision for growth is exponential. Daddy’s Chicken Shack showcases the idea that no matter who you are or where you are in life, if you have a love for food, you can come together and enjoy a chicken sandwich.”

Daddy’s Chicken Shack’s unique market position has set them up for success, and with that they have plans to franchise across the nation specially focusing their efforts on metro markets with multi-unit foodservice partners.

With their plans for expansion on the rise, Daddy’s Chicken Shack’s business model is set for scalability. The ideal franchisee will have a desire to provide quality fresh ingredients to customers along with the idea of leveraging an unforgettable experience in bringing people together long term. The brand is hoping to attract individuals with previous restaurant experience and who resonate with the brand’s values of bringing sunshine to communities by honoring inclusivity, good food and the guest experience.
