A look back at some of the most notable aspects of Danny Meyer’s career as CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, and some predictions for what he may do next.
all along—but the fact remains that for years, Meyer and USHG were considered a gold standard for how to run restaurants. By many, they still are.
Current president and chief operating officer Chip Wade will take over on September 6. Before joining USHG in 2019, he was the executive vice president of operations at Red Lobster and the senior vice president at its former parent company, Darden Restaurants. This doesn’t mark the end of Meyer’s influence in the food world though: The restaurateur will remain involved at USHG to help craft new restaurants.
Union Square Cafe’s popularity paved the way for the whole Meyer empire. In standard New York fashion, the original location closed due to a rent hike. It reopened a few blocks away in 2016, and by then, the company had other favorites like Gramercy Tavern, Marta, Maialino, and The Modern.Throughout his long career, Meyer strived to make USHG a haven for employees in an industry known for its long hours, low wages, and at times abusive dynamics.
