i. Biography
Chris Moore has served as Corporate Director of Food & Beverage, Lifestyle and Full Service Brands at LBA Hospitality since 2023, a post that pulls together portfolio scope, service cadence, and the operational discipline that sits behind both. The work traces back to an entry-level cook role at the Hilton hotel in Toledo, Ohio, where the fundamentals of service are plain: heat, timing, repetition, and the control required to keep a dining room moving without friction.
Coming Up
DePaul University sits in the background of Chris Moore’s path, but the early kitchen floor work at the Hilton hotel in Toledo, Ohio did the harder teaching. Long shifts and exacting standards build a practical vocabulary for hospitality: how to hold pace, how to keep consistency, and how to turn ingredients and labor into service that feels seamless to the guest. From there, Moore moved through the business with a clear understanding that food-and-beverage leadership depends as much on coordination and consistency as it does on ideas. The step up to director of Culinary Operations at a leading hospitality group, held until 2023, placed Moore at the point where kitchen culture meets broader strategy. In that lane, decisions affect teams, menus, and service style at once. The move from entry-level cook to director marks a career built through repetition, responsibility, and the ability to work comfortably at both the pass and the planning table. Since 2023, Chris Moore has served as Corporate Director of food & beverage, lifestyle and Full Service Brands at LBA Hospitality. The role asks for range: attention to the immediate details of a plate or pour, plus the discipline to shape how a brand behaves across service formats. It is leadership that depends on reading both the room and the system behind it.
