Franchising offers a proven pathway into the restaurant business—with less risk and more reward. Biscuit Belly provides a bold, biscuit powered concept built for entrepreneurs ready to break into or expand within the foodservice world.

The Power of the Franchise Model in Foodservice

Owning a restaurant franchise allows you to operate under an established brand, leverage tested systems, and access training and ongoing support—without starting from scratch. Franchisees benefit from brand recognition, group purchasing power, and strategic marketing resources that independent restaurateurs often lack.

According to the International Franchise Association, foodservice remains the largest segment of franchising in the U.S., generating billions in annual revenue and creating a reliable entry point for first time and multi-unit operators alike.

A Fresh Take on the Restaurant Franchise

Biscuit Belly is changing the game in fast casual brunch. We’ve taken the best parts of Southern comfort food and elevated them with chef driven recipes, a tech savvy infrastructure, and a cheeky brand personality that sticks with guests long after they leave.

Here’s what makes us a standout opportunity:

  • Brunch Centered Model – Capitalize on an underserved niche with high demand
  • Fast Casual Hybrid – Lower labor costs, quicker turns, and a smaller footprint
  • Memorable Branding – Playful tone and standout visual identity.  Guests become our best marketers due to how many pictures are taken of our space and food.
  • Proprietary Recipes – Crave-worthy dishes built on freshly made scratch made biscuits
We’ve Got Your Back From Day One

Franchisees aren’t in this alone. Our team walks with you through site selection, buildout, training, launch, and long term operations. We offer in depth training programs, marketing support, operational tools, and strategic coaching designed for sustained growth.

You’ll benefit from:

  • Real estate and market selection assistance
  • Local and national marketing resources
  • Grand opening and onboarding guidance
  • Ongoing operations support and technology integration
Expanding Across the South — and Beyond

With thriving restaurants in Kentucky, Alabama, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, Biscuit Belly has proven it can succeed in diverse markets. As demand for brunch-focused restaurants grows, we’re targeting new territories nationwide. Whether you’re in a major metro, mid sized city, or up and coming suburb, we want to hear from you.
