Restaurant Manager

Company Background

Alexandria Restaurant Partners (ARP) owns and operates nine unique full-service restaurants across Orlando, FL, and Alexandria, VA, with a hyper-local strategy that capitalizes on community ties, its guest base, and dedicated team members. With a portfolio of multi-million-dollar restaurants, strong profitability, and minimal debt, ARP aims to be the best in the nation, not the biggest, by achieving operational excellence, leading with integrity, and maintaining transparency.

The three principals of ARP—Scott Shaw, Dave Nicholas, and David Clapp—have a 25-year history dating back to the original Café Tu Tu Tango in Coconut Grove, FL. After growing Café Tu Tu Tango to seven locations, the trio went their separate ways before reuniting in 2009 to purchase the concept. From there, they formed Alexandria Restaurant Partners, which now includes restaurants such as Ada’s on the River, Barca Pier & Wine Bar, Café Tu Tu Tango, Mia’s Italian Kitchen, Palette 22, The Royal, Theismann’s, & Vola’s Dockside. Currently, they are on the mission of assembling an exceptional leadership team, attracting some of the best talent in the industry. With a people-first mindset, ARP empowers its team members to exceed guest expectations and give back to the community through partnerships with animal shelters, scholarship foundations, and homeless shelters, believing that you get what you give.
