Episode #32
Meet George Nahas
George is the owner owner of Belluci Cuccina, Gypsy Coffee Roasters, Romolo Espresso and is also opening one of the most anticipated restaurants in Sydney later this yeah with Ibby Moubaddar called Aalia.
George had been working in the industry from his teenage years. When he opened his first venue he treated it more of a hobby, but it wasn’t until his accountant told him he wouldn’t he in business much longer if he didn’t take it more serious.
It didn’t take long for him to soon become one of the best hospitality operators in Sydney.
He has had success after success with his venues but when Covid hit he was heavily impacted, with most of his venues in the city which was a ghost town for several months, but with his hard work ethic, business smarts and faith in god, he was able to turn things around.
Although he has flown under the rader in the hospitality industry for so many years George is one of the most respected operators in the hospitality industry.
Another passion for George is rugby league, he says football background helped him in hospitality because it taught him the meaning of resilience, hard work and working in a team environment.
