Zaxby's Franchise Model Overview

Zaxby's restaurants serve a chicken-focused menu from free-standing buildings with full dining rooms and drive-thrus, positioned between QSR and fast casual. The brand is concentrated in the Southeast and has been growing into new regions through multi-unit development agreements since a private equity investment. The franchisor operates a meaningful number of restaurants itself. Development typically requires multiple units and significant capital.
