Chad Coulter, founder and CEO of Biscuit Belly, a growing fast casual franchise out of Kentucky, joins QSR editorial director Danny Klein to discuss how he went from a Doctorate in Pharmacy at the University of Georgia to launching a paint-and-sip business to eventually creating Biscuit Belly with his wife, Lauren Coulter.

But there's a lot more to this story.

In this episode of the Restaurant Operator Podcast, host Mandy Wolf Detwiler, managing editor of Networld Media Goup, talks to Lauren Coulter, integrator and chief biscuit eater at Biscuit Belly, a Louisville, Kentucky-based biscuit fast casual chain about the brand's catering program.Many restaurants are expanding their reach with dedicated catering programs. These programs offer restaurant-quality food for events, from corporate lunches to social gatherings. Diners can expect menus tailored to their needs, with options ranging from boxed lunches to full buffets. This trend benefits both restaurants and customers. Restaurants gain a new revenue stream, while customers enjoy delicious food for their events without the hassle of cooking. Catering programs are also becoming increasingly user friendly, with online ordering and customizable menus. This convenience is fueling the popularity of restaurant catering, making it a delicious option for busy lifestyles.At Biscuit Belly, the brand started catering as an added convenience for their customers and because there aren't many breakfast catering choices in the area.Coulter said they were initially hesitant to add catering because the brand is built around a large biscuit sandwich."It's fine to order a couple here and there, but it's hard to replicate that in mass," she said, "and so we knew that we wanted to go down this path (and) that it was going to take us to entirely clearing out heads" about catering.To listen to Coulter's catering journey, click the link above.

Hannah McClain is director of culinary and training for Louisville, KY-based Biscuit Belly, a fast-casual regional franchise in the U.S. South, Midwest, and Southeast. McClain has been promoting the company's motto “Grab Life By The Biscuit!” since 2019. The rapidly expanding counter-service concept offers a wide variety of creative Southern-style biscuit meals such as the Boozy Bird, Biscuit Beenie, Belly Board, and the Love Shack. "I just knew cooking would be my future,” says McClain, adding, “I started cooking with my uncles and grandmother as a child and haven't stopped." McClain discusses Biscuit Belly's expansion and its franchisee selection, training, and development. She also explains: Why menu development requires creative staff training practices to ensure consistent operations. Why customer value is defined by staying true to quality ingredients, consistent portions, and creative presentations. Why it takes the right people with the right products and following the right processes to be profitable today. (She notes that a recent franchisee opening attracted more than 200 applicants for 35 positions). Why franchisee selection is like adding family members at the dinner table. (“Closeness and compatibility are what's most important,” says McClain). Why franchise field services are more about teamwork and support than supervision and evaluation.

Chad Coulter is the Founder and CEO of Biscuit Belly - a chef-driven fast-casual breakfast spot inspired by the biscuit sandwiches he grew up eating in his home state of Georgia. Chad began his career as a clinical pharmacist - teaching at a small College of Pharmacy in Lousiville and rounding in an academic medical center, until 2011, when he was struck with an entrepreneurial itch. He went on to start a paint and sip business, and in 2014 opened his first restaurant, LouVino - a small plates and wine bar restaurant which he eventually grew to five locations before starting Biscuit Belly. Biscuit Belly currently has four locations in Louisville as well as one location in Evansville, Indiana. But they have much bigger plans ahead.
