Summary
Tom Leyden connects with Bryan Parkin, the general manager of Bar'Cino Westwood at Bar'Cino's bar. Bryan Parkin has been with the Newport Restaurant Group for many years and recently took over as the GM of the Westwood Bar'Cino, which opened in November. During the conversation, Bryan talks about the unique business model that sets the Newport Restaurant Group apart. NRG is employee owned, and you'll hear Bryan talk a lot about the "ESOP" model, which refers to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. An ESOP is a retirement plan that gives employees partial or full ownership of a company. ESOPs are designed to align employee interests with those of shareholders. Bryan and Tom also discuss Bar'Cino's commitment to community, how the restaurant group regularly engages with town initiatives and, of course, what's been the key to Bar'Cino's success since the November launch. Also - they discuss catering, a powerful part of the business that Bryan helped develop and is available at their website, http://www.barcino.com/westwood
