In 2017, childhood friends Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan, and Tommy Rubenyan launched Dave’s Hot Chicken with $900 in a parking lot using portable fryers and folding tables. The venture quickly expanded to a brick-and-mortar restaurant in East Hollywood, supported by Tommy’s brother, Gary. By 2019, Wetzel’s Pretzels co-founder Bill Phelps and celebrities like Drake, Samuel L. Jackson, and Usher had invested in the brand.

Now, with over 200 restaurants and rights sold for more than 700 franchise locations in the U.S., Middle East, and Canada, Dave’s Hot Chicken is the fastest growing QSR brand in U.S. history. It has 2.4 million TikTok followers and 1.2 million Instagram followers, appealing primarily to Gen Z and Millennial males.

The menu features freshly cooked tenders spiced to order in seven levels from No Spice to Reaper, served alone or in sliders with slaw, pickles, and Dave’s Sauce. Sides include crinkle-cut fries, mac & cheese, and kale slaw. Stores are vibrant with LA-based street art, reflecting the brand’s origins and mission to “blow their minds.”

Openr was conceived in 2022 to solve a shared problem for all large hospitality operators across all sectors. Data orchestration in hospitality is holding back growth, innovation & efficiency. Today, operators spend a significant amount of time and effort manually replicating products, menus, venues, pricing, promotions and digital assets across multiple systems. Change is slow, manual, labour-intensive & cumbersome.

Openr unleashes growth, innovation & efficiency through our common data model & data orchestration platform. Using Openr, operators can effortlessly master & syndicate their products, menus, venues, pricing, promotions & digital assets wherever they are needed, allowing changes to be published in real-time with minimal effort.

Openr is now live across over 1,500 hospitality venues in the UK & Ireland, managing millions of data points for some of the UK’s largest hospitality operators.

They like things a bit different at Zizzi. There’s always something to discover when you have a meal with Zizzi: a menu packed with Italian-inspired dishes with twists and theatre, warm & natural restaurants with playful fun touches, and a team that make you feel like you’re among friends. Zizzi doesn’t do good times, only Great Times.

Zizzi first opened its doors and fired up its signature pizza ovens in Chiswick over 20 years ago. The idea was simple: every time you dine with Zizzi, it should be for great Italian food (with a twist) enjoyed in a warm and rustic environment with fun touches to discover. Today, there are a few more restaurants (over 130 in the UK & Ireland) but the Zizzi way remains the same.
