JOSH COBB
QSCC
Every day, Josh and his team face challenges about how best to deliver high-quality products to Wendy’ s, but despite any barriers they may face, Josh explains that the culture is one of positivity.
“ We have a fantastic culture, and that culture is not just driven by me, it’ s driven by the team as well,” he explains.“ We have a lot of fun at QSCC, and I think everyone leaves at the end of the day with a smile on their face.”
Rising to the challenge QSCC is an independent, not-for-profit cooperative. It is part of the Wendy’ s extended family, dedicated to servicing its members and maintaining the supply for all its restaurants. The quick service restaurant( QSR) industry requires fast and efficient service, without sacrificing quality, which is where QSCC comes in.
The company’ s core mission is to help Wendy’ s operators reach success in their everyday operations, ensuring the supply reaches every restaurant on time, making sure it meets the high-quality standards expected of it. Moreover, as a co-operative, it is dedicated to competitive and fair pricing for its members, working to service them.
Throughout 2025, food supply chains became significantly disrupted through a range of socioeconomic and geopolitical events. It became the responsibility of companies like QSCC to limit this disruption as much as possible, in order to meet consumer demand for restaurant-quality meals.
