The Chubby Platform

Everything behind every Chubby restaurant

The Chubby Platform is the group’s shared engine: the members, buying power, systems and people that run our own restaurants, opened up to our partners. You keep your restaurant and its identity, and the platform works in the background to grow your sales and lower what it costs to run.

Bring in more revenue

  • Revenue & loyalty

    Your restaurant joins Chubby Club. Members who already dine across the Chubby family find you, earn with you and come back, so you rely less on paid advertising to fill tables.

  • Capital & financing

    Help funding your opening and your next locations, from a partner that is invested in how you do.

Lower costs, run leaner

  • Cost optimization

    Group buying power on the costs that add up, from ingredients to services, so more of every sale stays with you.

  • Supply chain

    Sourcing and logistics through Chubby Supply, with premium ingredients such as Wagyu delivered consistently.

  • Build for less

    Modular design and in-house construction that keep build-out costs down and get you open sooner.

  • AI & automation

    Technology that makes kitchens and day-to-day operations smarter, so your team spends its time on guests.

  • Shared back office

    Legal and accounting handled through the group’s proven back office, instead of building your own.

  • Workforce

    Support finding and developing the right people, and staffing your restaurant efficiently.

Independent in spirit. Stronger together.

Who we partner with

What we look for

Selective by design. We choose partners who strengthen the network, and we invest in people as much as places.

  • Hospitality at heart

    Real restaurant or hospitality experience, and a love for taking care of guests.

  • Drive and ownership

    You show up, lead from the front and treat every restaurant as your own.

  • No ceiling on growth

    Two stores in two years is the start, not the finish line.
