Brian Batch never set out to become a restaurant owner, but life had other plans. After growing up in a tough family situation that forced him to be independent from a young age, Brian learned to adapt, create, and survive. Years later, while working at a small café in Texas, he met Ryan McElroy, who would later become his business partner and friend.
When Ryan's wife was diagnosed with cancer, he had to step away from running the café, and Brian stepped up. What started as an employee covering for his boss turned into a life-changing partnership. Together, they launched Bird Bird Biscuit, a take-out restaurant that now generates $250K—$300K per month without spending a dime on marketing.
In this episode, Brian shares how they built one of the most beloved restaurant businesses in Austin, why betting on a take-out model during COVID was their best decision, and how creative problem-solving shaped both his life and success as a restaurant owner. If you’re a restaurant owner (or hope to be one), Brian’s story is packed with lessons on adapting when it matters most and building something people love— one biscuit at a time.
