After three successful years, the acclaimed Daytrip in Oakland closed in late 2024 due to an unsustainable business model. It has since reopened as Daytrip Counter, a counter-service eatery specializing in responsibly sourced chicken. The change has been met with positive response, as evidenced by initial popularity. Chef Finn Stern emphasizes affordability without compromising on quality and creativity. The new menu maintains sophisticated flavor profiles and innovative presentation, attracting customers seeking both taste and value. Excitingly, there are already thoughts of expansion into other areas based on encouraging early metrics.
The reimagined Daytrip Counter blends Chef Stern's inventive culinary style with a streamlined counter-service model, allowing for accessible yet complex flavors in their chicken dishes.
Customer interest has surged after reopening, with the appeal of Daytrip Counter's affordable, high-quality chicken directly linked to its initial rapid success in a competitive market.
With a thoughtful approach to sourcing and pricing, Daytrip Counter aims not just to sustain itself but to thrive, with plans for possible expansion into new regions.
The response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the restaurant's commitment to quality and ethical sourcing as key factors in its revitalized appeal.
