Congratulations to our Q4 Partner Team: Ashley Bennett and Craig C. Gareiss!
Ashley Bennett has been with Biaggi’s for over 11 years and moved to our Deer Park location in January of 2017. Craig C. Gareiss has been with Biaggi’s for 4.5 years and ALSO moved to our Deer Park location in January of 2017! This is Ashley’s second time winning Partner Team of the quarter, but the first time winning since transferring to Deer Park. Though Ashley and Craig had not worked together before, they have grown to be a great example of partnership in our company. They work hard every day to grow and maintain their professional relationship together, to break down barriers between BOH and FOH and to manage their restaurant as one.
Ashley and Craig’s ripple effect extends far beyond Deer Park as they are a training powerhouse in our region (and beyond), Craig does a fantastic job helping rollout our KDS systems, and these two can always be counted on for coverage and tutelage throughout the company. In addition to their extra-curricular activities and running a great operation, Deer Park’s team puts out some of the most extraordinary wine dinners I’ve ever had the pleasure of attending; Craig’s amazing culinary skills combined with Ashley’s superb management are molding their entire team to a new level of food and service.
Please join me in celebrating as these two certainly have created a great team in Deer Park and are great partners to one another. I look forward to watching Ashley and Craig’s continued success with Biaggi’s!
