Dan Apolito – Co-Owner Archer’s (and Club Member)

By / CNOtes, CNOtes 2.0 /

Dan told us about the path that led him to owning three popular restaurants: Archer’s Tavern in Centerville and Kettering and The Stone House Tavern in Waynesville. Dan credits great customer service for their success. They train their servers to help each other. Someone will greet you within 15-20 seconds of being seated. The goal is to keep customers coming back. If ever there is a problem with food or service, any employee has the authority to make it right without having to go and get approval.
