Broomfield-based CraftWorks Restaurants & Breweries Group Inc. CEO Srinivas Kumar has resigned, according to a company news release.
Kumar served led the restaurant group since 2014. Fred Beilstein has been named interim CEO, the release said.
CraftWorks operates nearly 200 franchised and company-owned restaurants primarily operating under the Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom, Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurants and Rock Bottom Restaurants & Breweries brands.
"I am very optimistic with the increased traffic and sales we are seeing this Spring, especially with our loyalty guests," Beilstein said in a statement. "Despite what have been difficult times for many in casual dining, the CraftWorks family of brands represent enduring concepts that have resonated with our guests over many decades. I do not see that changing as we provide guests with great craft beer and craveable food."
