House of Chicken & Waffles: A Culinary Milestone
House of Chicken & Waffles stands as Rhode Island's pioneering restaurant dedicated exclusively to chicken and waffles. With Got Rich Doing It's strategic branding and marketing efforts, the launch was a pre-opening triumph, ensuring a strong audience and brand presence from day one.
Concept and Transformation
What began as a beloved food truck has transformed into a permanent fixture at 105 Plainfield Street, Providence, RI. The restaurant, led by Richard Monroe and Adonis Cossia, offers a unique twist on Southern comfort food with its Halal-prepared menu.
With over 20 house-made waffle flavors and specialty butters, the menu caters to diverse tastes, including seasonal and gluten-free options. This dedication to variety and quality positions House of Chicken & Waffles as a culinary standout.

Strategic Branding and Marketing
Got Rich Doing It spearheaded the branding and marketing direction for the restaurant's grand opening on July 31, 2026. Our approach was to establish a robust audience and brand identity well before the doors opened.
This strategy was validated by the organic growth of the restaurant's Instagram account, which garnered 500 followers from just seven posts, achieving thousands of reshares without any ad spend.
Community and Press Engagement
The story was covered by the Rhode Island Black Business Association and regional press ahead of the opening, highlighting the restaurant's innovative concept and community impact.
This coverage not only boosted the restaurant's visibility but also reinforced its position as a first-of-its-kind establishment in Rhode Island.
The Bet Before the Doors Opened
Richard Monroe and Adonis Cossia did not wait for opening day to introduce House of Chicken & Waffles. The storefront at 105 Plainfield Street, Providence, RI 02907 had to open as a known name, not a surprise.
Got Rich built and still manages the Instagram account. The first seven posts reached 500 followers and thousands of reshares, all organic, with no ad spend. That is Got Rich's own reporting, not a press figure. The July 31, 2026 grand opening then arrived with an audience already in place.
