Boss' Pizza & Chicken

What Boss' Pizza & Chicken does

Boss' Pizza & Chicken is a privately held regional restaurant franchise founded in 2005 by Jeremy Seefeldt in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The company operates approximately seven to a dozen locations across South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska, offering a menu centered on 40+ specialty pizza varieties and award-winning broasted chicken prepared using Broaster Company pressurized fryers. The franchise differentiates through late-night delivery operations (until 3 AM on weekdays and 4 AM on weekends) and operates four distinct business models: carry-out and delivery only, carry-out/delivery/eat-in with beer and wine, hotel-anchored dine-in, and full-service sports bar locations within hotels with full liquor licenses.

The company generates revenue through two primary streams: a one-time $30,000 franchise fee per new franchisee and an ongoing weekly royalty fee equal to 5% of gross sales, supplemented by direct sales from company-owned restaurant locations. It serves end consumers including local residents, sports bar patrons, hotel guests (with locations co-located with La Quinta Inn, Expressway Suites, Baymont by Wyndham, and Ramada Inn), and prospective franchisees seeking restaurant ownership. Customer acquisition relies primarily on community word-of-mouth, a text-messaging marketing club ('Friday Texts'), and managed social media rather than paid advertising at scale.

The franchise provides franchisees with a standardized support stack including a seven-day training program for management personnel, an operations manual, POS and inventory system setup assistance, and centrally managed text and social media marketing. The company employs approximately 49 people and maintains corporate headquarters at 4604 South Pasque Circle in Sioux Falls. The disclosed technology infrastructure is conventional (POS, inventory controls, text marketing) with no AI/ML components identified; the company holds no disclosed patents and operates as a single legal entity with no parent company, subsidiaries, or external institutional ownership.
