QSR chain PDQ (People Dedicate to Quality) has promoted Kep Sweeney to CEO. Sweeney replaces Nic Reader, who is moving to a founder role with co-founder/owner Bob Basham, according to a press release.

Sweeney joined the brand in 2020 and served as president for three years. Previously, he served as a consultant for CR3 focusing on process improvement in the restaurant industry.

"We are excited about our future with Kep at the helm and for all the things we can accomplish these next few years," Reader said in the press release. "He's a proven leader with a deep understanding of our business. Kep's love of our people and food is what makes me so excited. We've grown, we've fought a pandemic, we maneuvered through poultry inflation, and we've built a great company with a tremendous future."

PDQ has 62 locations in five states.
