As we've been asking if hospitality is broken, there's been a common refrain that restaurant groups have it easy, or at least easier. Today's guest is Ash Hicks, executive chef of Darling Group, which has a dozen or so venues in Victoria. What are the upsides and snags of being part of a group? Does money wash through the hallways? How do you build positive culture when each business is part of a larger whole?
