These days, everyone seems to be talking about Chris Pavlou, the charismatic owner of Radius-Valpo, Maple + Bacon, Tommy B’s, and the Abbey. Pavlou’s Northwest Indiana restaurants have become legendary for their remarkable food, high-spirited service, and insatiable drive to please the customer. With his uncanny talent for knowing what people want, Pavlou’s venues have earned him a reputation for having a golden touch!
Pavlou mentions he doesn’t look at other restaurants as competition. He competes against himself. Whether it’s creating a new recipe, booking music, or making improvements to his dining space. Pavlou believes a great customer experience requires an insatiable drive to get better. Being a member of Pavlou’s team is a badge of honor, which is evident in the high level of enthusiasm from his servers, hosts, cooks, and busboys.
Pavlou’s secret recipe is the culture of his restaurants. Pavlou doesn’t believe his restaurants compete with other restaurants. The Pavlou Restaurant Group puts their focus on being the best you can be, and believe you’re only competing with yourself. This philosophy of self-motivation is the impetus for a wonderful work environment and remarkable service.
