Description

Chad Offerdahl, Co-CEO of The Big Biscuit, sits down with FSR editors to share how he and his father transformed a beloved two-unit diner based outside of Kansas City, Missouri, into a 30-unit breakfast powerhouse that’s actively franchising. He unpacks how his QSR background and mindset inspired efficiency like six-minute ticket times, and how they’re scaling both company-owned and franchise units with purpose. From menu refreshes to launching third-party delivery and the value of oversized portions, Offerdahl reveals what it takes to win in the fast-moving world of full-service breakfast.
