Loco Chicken is one of Germany's leading fried chicken brands, distinguished by its creative and diverse menu. In addition to crispy fried chicken, the company offers signature dishes such as "Flavour your Chicken," waffles, burgers, unique fry variations, and desserts. Founded in October 2023 with its first ghost kitchen restaurant in Berlin, the company has grown rapidly. There are now additional physical locations in Düsseldorf, Cologne, and Frankfurt, with more stores already in the pipeline. By the end of 2025, Loco Chicken plans to open at least 20 more physical restaurants. Loco Chicken is backed by LANCH, a company that is successfully shaping the culinary scene not only with innovative concepts like Loco Chicken but also with other brands such as Happy Slice. With a clear focus on expansion and growth, the company is continuously driving its success story forward.

Efficient and rapid onboarding of new ghost kitchens with SIDES
For Loco Chicken, the key to success was scaling processes without compromising on quality. Ghost kitchens must guarantee fast delivery times, efficient ordering processes, and smooth operations. At the same time, the ability to easily integrate new partners is crucial for expanding the network. The challenge: finding the right system that meets these requirements while being prepared for future expansion.
With SIDES' intuitive restaurant software, new ghost kitchen partners can be integrated within just a few days. This saves time and minimizes effort for everyone involved. At the same time, SIDES ensures smooth processes—from order intake to delivery—and gives Loco Chicken the digital edge that is essential in the dynamic restaurant industry.
Optimize your restaurant's operations too—shorter delivery times and a centralized order overview are waiting for you!
On the road to success with SIDES: Loco Chicken relies on digital strength

From the first order at the Berlin pop-up to today's branches in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Cologne, and beyond: SIDES has been a technology partner since Loco Chicken was founded. The comprehensive software solution provides the tools needed to efficiently manage both the ghost kitchen model and physical restaurants. With SIDES modules, Loco Chicken achieves maximum efficiency in all business areas. The Driver App enables fast and seamless processing of delivery and pickup orders, which are integrated directly into existing workflows. The Self-Order Terminals (SOTs) on-site in the physical stores significantly reduce personnel costs while increasing the average order value—a decisive advantage for physical expansion. The POS system and the kitchen monitor ensure smooth operations in the quick-service branches and optimize collaboration between the kitchen and service staff. The system is complemented by SIDES Pay, which offers fast and secure payment options, thereby increasing customer satisfaction. With this comprehensive solution, Loco Chicken is optimally positioned for further growth.
"SIDES allows us to scale both the physical and virtual presence of Loco Chicken without any technological hurdles. This enables us not only to optimize operations but also to take the partner and customer experience to the next level."
