Piccadilly launches emergency services division

Baton Rouge-based Piccadilly Restaurants announced today that it has created a new division within the company: emergency services.

Chief Operating Officer Chris Sanchez says Piccadilly has a new, custom-built emergency kitchen that enables it to serve up to 100,000 meals a day.
