Kodiak, purveyor of BFY breakfast options, has announced it has been named to Inc.'s 2025 Best Workplaces list and recognized in the Enduring Impact category, along with the Medium-Large company size category and Rocky Mountain regional category, which honors companies that have built exceptional workplaces and vibrant cultures that support their teams and businesses.

This year's list, featured on Inc.com, is the result of comprehensive measurement and evaluation of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company cultures, whether in-person or remote.

The award process involved a detailed employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace, covering critical elements such as management effectiveness, perks, professional development, and overall company culture. Each company's benefits were also audited to determine overall score and ranking. Kodiak is honored to be included among the 514 companies recognized this year, it says.

"At Kodiak, we believe great culture starts with great people, and we're proud to have a team that brings passion, purpose, and grit to everything they do," says Val Oswalt, CEO of Kodiak. "We work hard to build an environment where people can show up as their full selves, grow in their careers, and feel truly connected to our mission of feeding epic days and wilder lives through real breakfasts. Being recognized by Inc. is a testament to the incredible people who make Kodiak what it is, and the culture that fuels us every day."

"Inc.'s Best Workplaces program celebrates the exceptional organizations whose workplace cultures address their employees' welfare and needs in meaningful ways," says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. "As companies expand and adapt to changing economic forces, maintaining such a culture is no small feat. Yet these honorees have not only achieved it—they continue to elevate the employee experience through thoughtful benefits, engagement, and a deep commitment to their teams."
