February 25, 2025

Dave's Hot Chicken has launched a catering program in partnership with ezCater.

"Partnering with ezCater allows Dave's Hot Chicken to tap into high-value workplace customers like never before," Jim Bitticks, president and COO of Dave's Hot Chicken, said in a company press release. "This partnership will help us capitalize on the growing demand in workplace catering while also opening up a new revenue stream for our franchise owners. The average order value for Dave's Hot Chicken orders on ezCater exceeds $500, and we expect catering to represent as much as 10% of our business within a year."

A majority of Dave's Hot Chicken locations also leverage ezDispatch, which supports them with local, reliable delivery partners in their area.

"Dave's Hot Chicken is a favorite brand our customers will be thrilled to find on our platform," Michelle Smart, chief customer care officer, ezCater, said in the release. "With many options for both boxed lunches and trays, their menu is perfect for large groups at work. Plus, what better way to spice up a meeting than with their famous hot chicken tenders?"

Founded in 2018 in LA, Dave's has over 200 locations.
