Our people

Meet the team.

We run as one team across a handful of departments — everyone in their own role, all working toward the same thing: taking care of our restaurants and the people in them. Here’s who does what, plus a nod to the cooks and managers who built the company.

The people who built us

Careers, not shifts.

The best measure of a restaurant company is how long its people stay. A few of the people whose careers became part of Bravo’s story:

Alice Mae Redmond

Pizza Chef · Gino’s East

Spent 29 years at Gino’s East and developed the signature crust recipe that made the deep dish famous. Her standard still sets ours.

Glenn Hudley

Kitchen Manager · Gino’s East

Alice Mae’s nephew, who carried the crust recipe and the craft forward — proof that great kitchens are built by people who stay and teach the next cook.

The Lovelady Family

Pizza Chefs & Managers

Three generations of women who have worked as pizza chefs and managers since the 1970s. When we say family business, we mean more than one family.

Our people today

The next name on the wall could be yours.

Across six brands, hundreds of people cook, serve, bake and lead every day — and we’d rather grow them than replace them. If that sounds like a place you’d want to work, come say hello.
