Stacked Names Craig Carlyle COO
STACKED: Food Well Built, has announced that Craig Carlyle, who served in top leadership roles at Yard House Restaurants, has joined the company as its first COO.
Carlyle is the latest addition to a loaded management team at STACKED, now majority-owned by two private equity firms, North Carolina-based Hargett Hunter and TriSpan of New York and London, which acquired their stakes in September 2018.
Founded in 2011, and now with five restaurants in Southern California, STACKED pioneered user-friendly, tabletop technology that allows guests to create their own personal dining experience from ordering to paying their bill. With an inventive and delicious menu of American favorites, guests choose specific ingredients on tabletop iPads to build literally millions of combinations of menu items, and only pay for the ingredients they choose.
Carlyle is joining STACKED to help lead the expansion efforts. He joins co-founders Paul Motenko and Jerry Hennessy, the former co-CEOs of BJ’s Restaurants.
