Ira Muench, the former General Manager for Daniel's Broiler - Leschi, was honored with the Manager of the Year award for Schwartz Brothers Restaurants because of his positive approach to management, his entrepreneurial spirit, and the way he endeared himself to the Leschi neighborhood.
And he just became the new General Manager for Chandler's Crabhouse on Lake Union.
Ira started with us as a server at Daniel's Broiler - Bellevue in January of 2003, where his enthusiasm and professionalism moved him quickly to management by October of the same year. In 2005, he was transfered to Daniel's Broiler - Lake Union. His unbridled desire to exceed expectations brought him a promotion to General Manager of the Leschi Daniel's Broiler in January of 2007.
We specialize in hiring talented, exceptional, multifaceted people, and Ira epitomizes this. In addition to working 50-60 hours a week for Schwartz Brothers, he's also a drummer for the band, TrainYard, which won Seattle's Battle of the Bands a few years ago. That achievement led the band to South Dakota's annual Motorcycle Rally, where TrainYard opened for Chris Rock.
And when he's not maximizing his guests' experiences or rocking out, Ira enjoys yet another of his passions: Working on motorcycles.
Ira brings his intensity to everything he does. So come down to Chandler's and see what Ira and his new staff can do for you.
