Boloco welcomes new COO

February 14, 2014

Boloco has named Scott Nietschmann its new COO, where he will be tasked with managing and improving the behind-the-scenes operations of the restaurants, according to a company press release.

Nietschmann joins boloco with years of operating experience, having held a variety of positions within the restaurant industry. Throughout his career, he's worked as COO of Brinker International (Chili's Grill & Bar Restaurants), president of Magic Restaurants (Fuddruckers and Koo Koo Roo Restaurants), and most recently, as president of Shula Burger and Shula Bar & Grill.

"Scott has a strong background in operations, and we knew this was an area we needed to really focus on to improve the experience for our guests," said Patrick Renna, boloco's CFO and interim CEO. "One of our top priorities for 2014 is to take a hard look inside our own four walls of our restaurants. Our goal is to provide the same quality boloco experience at every location, so whether someone stops at a boloco in Bethesda, Maryland or in Copley Square or Warwick, Rhode Island — they walk away feeling good about the food, the experience, and the people. We think Scott will play an integral role in achieving this goal."

Nietschmann previously resided in Florida but recently relocated to Boston to work out of boloco's headquarters.
