Scaling with Heat

Inside Dave’s Hot Chicken’s playbook for QSR growth

Weds 21st January 2026 | 10am

Scaling a QSR concept is hard. Scaling it quickly – while protecting the brand, the guest experience and operational consistency – is harder still.

Dave’s Hot Chicken has managed both. From cutting through a crowded category to opening new sites at speed, they’ve become one of the most talked-about QSR brands in the world. This webinar lifts the lid on how they’ve done it.

In an operator-led conversation, we’ll explore the practical decisions, systems and learnings that underpin fast, sustainable growth – and what you can apply to your own expansion plans in 2026.

What we’ll cover

1. Building a brand with momentum
How Dave’s created cultural cut-through, built a distinctive identity and delivered consistency across an expanding estate.

2. Scaling at speed without losing control
The operational design, structure and discipline required to grow rapidly while maintaining standards and protecting what makes the brand special.

3. Dave’s Hot Chicken in the UK
Why the UK was a strategic move, how they set themselves up for day-one success, and what they learnt early on about local guest expectations.

4. Operational excellence as a growth engine
The processes that underpin consistent execution, menu and promotional agility, and the digital infrastructure needed to keep pace with expansion.

5. Practical guidance for operators in 2026
The highest-impact decisions, the pitfalls to avoid, and what fast-growth brands prioritise when scaling responsibly.

Who this webinar is for

Multi-site operators who are:

  • Looking to grow in 2026
  • Strengthening operational resilience
  • Modernising digital infrastructure
  • Building menu flexibility and promotional agility
  • Creating loyalty and retention strategies
  • Focused on scaling confidently and profitably

What you’ll walk away with

  • A practical framework for scaling in 2026
  • The principles high-growth QSR brands use to maintain consistency
  • A clear view of what digital and operational readiness actually looks like
  • Real examples of what drives success – and what holds operators back

Why this matters now

Opening new sites is one thing. Opening them quickly, consistently and profitably is another.

The brands winning today are those that have invested in operational maturity and digital foundations – giving them the confidence to scale without undermining what already works.

This session offers a clear, behind-the-scenes look at how one of the UK’s fastest-growing concepts is achieving just that.
