Podcast: Federico Castellucci on Turning Around a Family Business and Leaning into Tech

Season 2 of So You Want to Run a Restaurant is finally here! After interviewing a dozen different restaurant operators last season, we’re back to hear from more innovators in the industry who can share their stories and lessons learned while navigating these challenging times.

We’re kicking things off with lifelong restaurant veteran Federico Castellucci. Federico’s family has been in the business for more than a century, and today, as president and CEO of Atlanta’s Castellucci Hospitality Group, Federico is responsible for leading and directing the vision of the brand. He’s also a member on the Board of Directors of the Georgia Restaurant Association and is actively involved as a mentor, advisor, and investor in early stage hospitality technology companies. In 2018, Federico was the recipient of the GRACE Awards, Restaurateur of the Year, and honored by the Atlanta Business Chronicle with the “40 under 40” award and Small Business Person of the Year in the Family-Owned business category.

Tune in to hear from Castellucci as he shares strategies he’s taken to turn his family’s business around, ways he’s increasingly embracing technology, and more. You can find our podcast episode on Google, Spotify, or Apple.
