23 YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY
GENERAL MANAGER, ROMO'S PIZZA
"People use us to celebrate. We
become part of that. I think people
stay in the industry because you
offer happiness and joy that you
actually get to share with them.
People say, 'What's your real job?'
Doing this! It's important because
restaurants are a part of so many
celebrations – not even just that.
You're having a terrible day, and now
you have someone to talk to over a
beer. I started working in restaurants
because I was painfully shy. It forced
me to talk to people."
