Welcome back to Hospitality Meets where today we have a special treat as we sit down with none other than James Brown (no, not the legendary blues singer - Highly original and never been used before joke) the dynamic CEO of Brewdog's bar division as well as being the co-founder of Tipjar.
Join us as James takes us through his remarkable journey, from his humble beginnings at a chip shop in rural Scotland to leading Brewdog’s international bar operations. We'll dive into the fun and innovative culture at Brewdog that attracts young, ambitious talent, and explore how they navigate the challenges of opening new locations, including a whirlwind expansion into Ohio and beyond.
James shares valuable insights into the importance of in-person social experiences, especially post-COVID, and the unique challenges and rewards of the hospitality industry. We'll also chat about his entrepreneurial venture, Tipjar, a platform revolutionising the way tips are distributed in the hospitality sector.
Get ready for an episode filled with entrepreneurial spirit, risk-taking stories, and the captivating energy of the hospitality world. Tune in as we uncover the passion and dedication that drives James and his team to create memorable experiences for both staff and guests around the globe.
Enjoy!
