Bryan Chaffee
Areas Of Specialty
Bryan is a dedicated professional who learned he had a servant’s heart early in his hospitality career. This trait has enabled him to connect on a more sincere level to truly navigate the complicated world of recruiting.
Bryan cut his hospitality teeth bussing tables at Ponderosa Steakhouse. He remembers the wise words of his trainer: “Never make eye contact with the guests…they just might ask you for something.” It was at that time he felt he can do things differently and better. While working his way up the ranks at Ponderosa and attending college, he eventually became GM of that very same Ponderosa before being recruited by Longhorn Steakhouse. He took those same beliefs and continued to learn about the industry. After 10 years at Longhorn and navigating through the Darden purchase it was off to Bloomin’ Brands, both Carrabba’s and Outback Steakhouse. Over those 20 years, one thing became very apparent. Bryan had a strong knack for creating a great management crew and developing people around him. This naturally lead to him becoming a recruiter so he could find the perfect person for every job! Bryan has his Bachelor’s in Communication from Penn State.
