About John C. Williams

Hospitality industry professional that has served successfully as a single and multi-unit General/Operations Manager and Food & Beverage Director for a variety of different concepts. I have opened several full-service restaurant operations from the ground up and have been actively involved in concept development and execution. I have overseen front and back of house operations for up to eight full-service restaurants grossing approximately $25 million annually. I have an excellent track record regarding adherence to budgets as well as being proactive where labor and other controllable costs are concerned and understand the overall success of an operation relies heavily on financial responsibility and acuity.Throughout my career I have developed skills and strengths that are essential for leading a large and diverse team and inspiring loyalty and trust while being focused on goals and results. I set clear expectations and hold my team accountable while still leading from the front and supporting them.
