Anthony Valletta, CEO of BarTaco, joins Restaurant Leaders Unplugged to share how his team built one of the most unique and people-first brands in casual dining today. From his early days washing dishes to leading a fast-growing concept with over 35 locations, Anthony talks about:

• Building culture at scale without becoming another big-box brand
• Creating a “next-gen casual” dining experience
• How AI and guest data are shaping future loyalty and personalization
• The bold wage equity model that’s transforming team dynamics
• Lessons in humility and leadership from a career across Michelin stars, startups, and corporate giants
  
  

Whether you’re a restaurant operator, emerging leader, or brand builder, this episode is full of strategy and heart.
