Dani Dillon has worked in restaurants and hospitality for most of her life. From Michelin-starred fine dining to multi-unit international food & beverage operations at scale for start-ups, Dani has always loved the way that personal, story-driven food can connect people in profound ways. Her work has been covered in Vogue, Eater, and Food & Wine, among other publications, and she has collaborated with many celebrated chefs and makers through her work at companies like The Wing and restaurants like La Vara. 

In April 2020, stirred and displaced by COVID-19’s earth-shattering changes to the entire restaurant ecosystem, Dani created Lunch Group. With Lunch Group, Dani combines her traditional restaurant background and love of food and drink with her skills for strategic impact, community building, and operations. In support of what comes next for her clients, she is here to help food, beverage, and hospitality businesses creatively face the challenges of reopening post-COVID-19 and reimagining the very nature of service and hospitality.
