Interview with Chris Beal, Director of Operations at Tribeca Tavern in Cary, NC
1. How was the Tribeca’s management team assembled?
It was assembled by finding a certain fit for our different needs. So, our main goal is to create a team that works together and to create a team that has different passions for different things, so it can all come together to create a great thing. With our chef, we look for creativity and ability to multitask, be able to handle the volume. For our Sous Chef, we look for someone who will understand the importance of cleanliness, employee relations with each other, and building a kitchen team, and the ability to be able to prep.
We have the bar manager who has a true passion for alcohol and the different liquors, bourbon, and craft beer. And we have a general manager who is really the base of the team in pulling everyone together, and they’re different from the house managers to ensure the success of the service experience.
