David joined the Doherty team in 2015 as a supervisor. Within a year, he was promoted into our Manager in Training program. In a short amount of time, David was again promoted to Kitchen Manager at Applebee’s Kingsway and became the location’s Training Kitchen Manager. He played a key role in the success of the store with food cost, CP, and labor.

David has worked side by side with many MITs and helped with the development of multiple managers. He is always willing to help out another manager or staff member. David goes above and beyond daily to ensure that we are WOWing every guest, every time. During the pandemic, he was helping out in many stores and giving support to the whole district.

Great job David! Congratulation on your promotion to General Manager! We you continued success!
