Partnership arrives as Houston Hot Chicken prepares to launch in the UK and expand its franchise footprint
GLENSIDE, PA / ACCESS Newswire / October 13, 2026 / FULFLLD, a dispatch and delivery execution platform and part of the dlivrd Technologies portfolio, today announced a partnership with Houston Hot Chicken to manage the restaurant's catering deliveries.
Before the partnership, Houston Hot Chicken relied on salaried employees to handle catering deliveries, pulling staff away from in-restaurant responsibilities to get orders out the door. FULFLLD's dispatch and routing technology now handles those runs directly, freeing Houston Hot Chicken's team to focus on the restaurant.
"Catering orders were pulling from the people off the line at exactly the wrong moments," said Barrie Arnold, Vice President of FULFLLD. "FULFLLD lets Houston Hot Chicken hand off those deliveries entirely, so their staff can stay focused on the restaurant instead of driving."
Houston Hot Chicken currently operates 8 corporate-owned locations alongside more than 20 franchise locations, and is preparing to launch in the United Kingdom. The brand is targeting 150 open franchise locations by the end of 2027. FULFLLD's dispatch model is built to scale alongside that growth, giving Houston Hot Chicken a delivery partner it can lean on further as new locations open.
