Zaxbys
About Zaxbys
Zaxbys is a Southern-born, flavor-forward chicken brand founded in 1990 in Georgia, by childhood friends. What began as a bold idea—elevating chicken fingers and wings from side items to the main event—has grown into a national favorite
known for premium boneless chicken, signature sauces (especially the legendary Zax Sauce), and a distinctive personality that refuses to be bland.
Our mission is simple and non-negotiable:
Consistently create encore experiences
that enrich lives, one person at a time. We live by the purpose of living a more flavor-full life: Be bold. Be original. Be
you. Stand out, step up, and spice things up. Never be bland—and stay saucy.
Core values that guide everything we do:
People First- The guest experience never exceeds the team member experience.
Accountability- We do what we say we will do.
Transparency- Honest, respectful conversations that get to the
heart of issues quickly.
Innovation-Courageous thinking and the never-been-done-before.
Inclusion and Belonging- Our door is open;
there’s a seat at the table for you. Be authentically yourself.
We call our hospitality approach Southern Hospitality 2.0: traditional Southern
warmth and generosity updated for today—inclusive, enthusiastic, energetic, and
modern.
