Since 1995, Bailey has helped develop and manage the daily operations for several metro Atlanta-area brands.

While studying business, he was inspired to combine his management skills with his passion for providing excellent customer service. This led him to pursue a career in retail restaurant management.
Bailey served as vice president of Roasters from 1995-2005, where he directed four locations and created a managerial training program. In 2006, Bailey began working as director of training for Shane’s Rib Shack, focusing on franchise development and corporate business consultants. He joined Figo Pasta in July 2008 as director of operations and continued on to Mirko Pasta in the same position two years later.
