Black Bear Diner makes changes to executive team

Family-dining concept Black Bear Diner has made two adjustments to the operations side of its executive team, promoting Craig Cunningham to senior vice president of operations and naming Steve Standlea its director of operations services.

Cunningham most recently served as Black Bear Diner’s regional vice president of operations, while Standlea joins the brand after having served in an operations role with the Corky’s and Septembers Taproom & Eatery concepts.

Black Bear Diner was this year named one of Technomic’s Top 500 restaurant chains, with an estimated $205.2 million in U.S. sales during 2016.
