He started out at Pussers Rum π and helped grow and open several locations which was the precursor to his career in the restaurant business. He had just opened his 106th restaurant at our recording in September 2023! He then jumped over to China Grill Management for nearly 5 years as Director of Development and Operations.
Β He has many experiences in the on-premise world, including being President of Light Group, where he dipped his toe into nightlife establishments.π₯ π»Β

Kelley is so engrained in the business and operations side that if I were to open a new concept, heβd be my first phone call. Heβs buttoned up on every level from conception, to funding, and understanding the brick and motor development to operations. When it comes to cocktails on their menu, he lets the bartender create one for each spirit, but they must be made within 30 seconds. Wow! π²
