MINNEAPOLIS, March 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alissa Partee, Chief Operations Officer (COO), at Restaurant Technologies was recognized as one of the top “Women in Business” by the Minneapolis St-Paul Business Journal in early March.
Partee first joined Restaurant Technologies in 2020 as Chief People Officer where she led the human resources team. During her tenure, Partee saw the company grow from 1,000 employees to over 1,500 nationwide.
In addition to her CPO role, Partee expanded her horizons as the interim COO in 2024 where she led the implementation of a new nine-person operations excellence team. She transitioned into the COO role full-time in December 2025. As COO, Partee leads the operations team with five direct reports who lead over 1,100 operations team members and managers.
