Dickey's Barbecue Pit is number 40 on our Top 100 Movers and Shakers: Restaurants.

With 500 units set to open by the end of the year and plans for 2,000 over the next five years, Dickey's Barbecue Pit is on a mission to take fast casual barbecue across the nation.

"This has never been done," said Roland Dickey Jr., the brand's president.

He said the organization looks at innovation as "two halves of a whole." What that means is that the brand not only focuses on core values and traditions but is intensely focused on providing high-quality service and food in every restaurant.

"On the other half, we are bringing a level of sophistication to the barbecue industry through big data, allocation of resources and predictive analytics that will allow us to serve our customers with a degree of modern precision," Dickey said.
