Ep 223 Sumer Series 2/10

Delivering great hospitality experiences over sports and fun with CEO of Signature Group James Sinclair

Signature Hospitality Group is home to some of the fastest-growing brands in Australia’s sporting and hospitality landscape, including The Sporting Globe Bar & Grill and TGI Fridays (Asia Pacific).

Welcoming over 3 million guests annually SHG is a fast-growing enterprise that employs over 1,250 staff across 34 locations in five different states, serving high-quality modern food & beverages.

As a keen entrepreneur, our next guest James Sinclair seized the opportunity to bring the beloved sports bar and grill to Australia with both a company-owned and franchise business model, so it’s great to talk with CEO and Principal of Signature Hospitality Group on this week's podcast.

In this podcast we talk about how he started the first venue for Sporting Globe, how the signature group team guided its way through Covid with having a very challenging market to keep venues trading, and the origin story of the founder of TGIF invented and shaping the first singles bar in the US and building out some of the first real cocktail programs designed for women.
