Don Dalton
Experience
I bring hands-on operating experience across multi-unit, multi-brand restaurant platforms, including private equity-backed environments.
My background spans growth, integration, and sustained operational leadership at scale
Highlights
- Led restaurant operations across 300+ locations
- Scaled both emerging and legacy brands in high-growth environments
- Opened and integrated 50+ new restaurants
- Partnered directly with private equity ownership and boards
- Built and led large field leadership teams across multiple regions
Operating Approach
My approach is grounded in execution and accountability.
I focus on:
- Clear operational standards
- Strong field leadership
- Measurable performance expectations
- Consistent communication between operations, ownership, and support teams
I have operated inside the business—not alongside it—and understand what it takes to drive results in real restaurant environments.
