About Us

sneakybird® was designed as a family-concept where flavor meets health, and franchisees and franchisors work together to build a dominant local brand.

Brand
History

sneakybird® launched in 2022, originated by seasoned restaurateur and hospitality executive, Dan Chaon. Chaon (pn “Sean”) desired to create a new future-oriented, QSR concept incorporating both customers' needs for a high value oven-grilled and made-to-order chicken dishes with franchisees’ needs for return on investment.

The Leadership

sneakybird® is led by seasoned hospitality veteran Dan Chaon, former CEO and partner of Native Grill, a legacy wings, pizza, and sports bar based in Phoenix. Prior to that Chaon was a multi-unit Director of Operations with Brinker, overseeing 150 restaurants.

Balancing out restaurant operations with business discipline, Joe Davis operates as CFO. Davis is a partner with Cybeck Capital Partners, a private equity firm (among other investments) focuses on franchising.

Joe O’Hara rounds out the team as Executive Chairman. Like Davis, O’Hara comes from a finance and private equity and franchising background as one of the founding partners of Cybeck Capital Partners.

This team worked together to turn around Native Grill during COVID, eventually selling the brand to Fat Brands and using the capital to start sneakybird®.

I had the chicken sandwich (homestyle) with the jalapeño garlic ranch dry rub and sneaky sauce. It was delicious and I would order it again.

Love love love! sneakybird is one of my family's favorite casual dining spots. The food is delicious and healthy. The ranch dressing is the BEST ever, and the variety of wing sauces and dry rubs create an endless variety of wing flavors. The chicken wrap and chicken sandwich are the best in town. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is cool. Check it out, you will be happy you did!

The wings are baked and never fried. They were juicy, tasty, and full of protein. I love the experience of having my fingers covered in sauce.
