05 About
Adrien Pitard
Opening project manager
Formerly Bioburger · Groupe Bertrand · Père & Fish · McDonald's
I started out in operations, then went on to coordinate around ten openings. Entrée was born from that dual expertise: supporting restaurant and hotel projects by combining rigorous project management with hands-on experience.
