The Briar Group

🇮🇪 Say hello to a few more of our J-1 students!

They’re spending the summer working with The Briar Group, exploring Boston, and checking destinations like Nashville, NYC, and Martha’s Vineyard off their bucket lists.

We’re so grateful for their hard work and positive energy, especially during the excitement of the FIFA World Cup this summer! ⚽️

Meet Oisín!🇮🇪

This summer, we’re welcoming J-1 students from Ireland to The Briar Group, and we’re excited to introduce you to some of the amazing people joining our team.

First up is Oisín from the coastal town of Greystones in County Wicklow. He’ll be joining the team as a food runner at Ned Devine’s. When he’s not working, you’ll likely find him cheering on Arsenal FC. His goal for the summer? Catching a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. ⚾️

If you see Oisín this summer, be sure to say hello! Stay tuned as we introduce more of our Irish J-1 students throughout the season!

A great time was had at our All Managers Meeting! We kicked off the day with an awesome lunch at MJ O'Connor's Seaport before diving into an afternoon of updates and discussion. We heard valuable insights from each department- marketing, HR, accounting, and operations- and wrapped up the day at Cisco Brewers in the Seaport. We enjoyed great food, drinks, sunshine, and great vibes!

We’re incredibly lucky to have such a passionate, hardworking, and talented management team-truly the best in the business. We’re excited for what’s to come and looking forward to a busy summer ahead! 🥂

Last night, our leadership team and general managers gathered in the North End for an incredible dinner at Assaggio. We kicked off the evening with drinks and business updates from our CEO before settling in for a fun night filled with great food, laughter, and stories from over the years.

We’re incredibly lucky to have such a dedicated group of GMs on our team- many of whom have been with us for over 20 years. Their leadership, loyalty, and passion continue to shape who we are as a company every day.
