Dickey’s started as a dream and a passion for barbecue in Travis Dickey’s kitchen in Dallas, Texas. Today, that generational love of quality, competition-style barbecue has transformed into a proven, successful franchise business model that offers franchisees a way to fulfill their dream of being a small business owner and build success in their own neighborhood.
Why Dickey’s is The Franchise of Choice?
Nobody Knows Barbecue Like Us!
With over 80 years of experience cooking up the tastiest smoked meats around and more than 25 years of helping franchisees become successful small business owners, we know our way around the barbecue business. We work incredibly hard to provide franchisees with best in class support, and the delicious food their customers love, all while lending a helping hand every step of the way.
Well-Loved Brand
We’ve been a barbecue fan favorite since 1941, and with 550 locations and more opening across the globe, we have a loyal following from the Texas Gulf to the Red Sea.
More Ways to Earn
Your Dickey’s Barbecue Pit will boast eight revenue streams including dine-in, catering, the Dickey's app, 3rd party partnerships, online ordering, delivery, retail items and holiday meals.
We Treat You Like Family
As a family-owned business, we know how to take care of our own. When you sign on, you’ll receive continuous support in all areas of your business, from site construction to marketing and beyond.
Attend Barbecue University
We provide a combination of in-depth classroom style and hands-on training affectionately known as Barbecue University. By the time you’re done, you’re going to feel like you got a master’s in barbecue!
Old Recipes, New Tech
While we love our classic recipes, we’re not afraid to try new things. Innovative technology like our proprietary ordering system and KPI-tracking Smoke Stack 2.0 streamline business operations.
Smoke the Competition
As the largest fast-casual barbecue franchise in the world, Dickey’s is in a class all its own, but we still sweeten the deal with protected territories that further limit your competition.
Keep Money in Your Pocket
We’ve built an extensive menu relying on relatively few ingredients which lets franchisees make the most of their savory offerings while keeping costs low.
Big Flavors in a Small Footprint
Each location is outfitted with a hickory wood-burning pit, open kitchen, and family-friendly dining room nestled into economically-sized spaces of approximately 1,500 sq ft.
