Restaurateurs Launch Duke’s Hospitality Group in New Milford

The first hospitality group in New Milford, Connecticut, is launching itself with a ribbon cutting on April 30. Set to showcase its latest restaurant, Duke's Tavern, Duke's Hospitality promises a welcoming space for guests and staff alike.

Duke's Tavern

Duke's Tavern can be found on historic Bank Street in New Milford, Connecticut.

Most locals in New Milford know of Cool Hand Duke's and Zaragoza's, restaurants owned by the newly established Duke's Hospitality Group. However, they may be less familiar with Duke's Tavern, a restaurant that has the feel of a well-established, local bar with the food and cocktail offerings of a gourmet tavern. Now, Duke's Hospitality Group hopes to bring its passion for amazing food and welcoming spaces to not just the restaurant, but also to the area.

"We're building and establishing the first hospitality group in New Milford," says Doru (Drew) M. Angelo, Connecticut restaurateur and Managing Partner of Duke's Hospitality Group. "We're excited to hire a diverse staff, and are looking forward to working with the local community to expand opportunities both here and throughout the rest of Connecticut."

Angelo and his business partner, William R. Hart Jr., launched Duke's Hospitality Group with the hopes of creating an organization that is not just welcoming to guests, but is also welcoming to a diverse workforce from New Milford and across Connecticut.

"We want to create a group where we show both guests and staff that we value them," says Kristi Rudolph, General Manager of Duke's Hospitality. "We want people to hear about us and know that Duke's Hospitality is a great organization to work with and to work for."

Duke's Hospitality worked hard on its new location to renew and revitalize the space, which has a unique blend of classic American Western decor with a trendy, modern twist. With the new bar and other additions, the location promises upscale comfort food, craft beer, and cocktails in a casual and fun setting. Duke's Tavern is the newest addition to the hospitality group, which also runs Zaragoza, the award-winning tapas restaurant located in the same town.

"There's so much potential with Duke's Tavern," says Rudolph, who has worked for 13 years in the hospitality and restaurant industry. "We want to attract a lot of events here, whether it's for business or to celebrate a special occasion. We want to work with the local community to create more opportunities here."

Duke's Hospitality plans to continue to grow and expand its offerings not just in New Milford, but across Connecticut. Its goal is to create different locations and different offerings that appeal to guests from all over the state.

"A lot of concepts are driven by the fact that restaurants are social gathering places where people celebrate," explains Angelo. "Our goal is to establish restaurants and a catering team that can create different environments for people from different walks of life. We want everyone to be able to celebrate with us - both guests and staff."

Duke's Hospitality is having its official ribbon cutting for the location on Sunday, April 30 at 2:00 PM at 59 Bank Street in New Milford. That's when they'll launch not just the restaurant, but also its brand as a hospitality group in New Milford. Street parking is available, and the event will have food, drinks, prize drawings, music, and more.

OTA Insight Appoints Gregory Peppel as Head of Business Intelligence Products

OTA Insight, the global leader in cloud-based hospitality business intelligence, today announced the appointment of Gregory Peppel to the product leadership team. As the new Head of Business Intelligence (BI) Products, Gregory will play an instrumental role in advancing OTA Insight's BI solutions.

For over 15 years, Gregory has specialized in hospitality-centered product development, creating vertically-integrated SaaS BI products and cultivated high-performance product development teams. His background includes a successful tenure at Avero, where he contributed to the expansion of their F&B BI product into 12 of the top 15 largest global hotel brands.

The addition of Peppel to the OTA Insight team is another strategic move to reinforce the company's leadership position in the BI space. In his new role, Gregory will concentrate on driving innovation within OTA Insight's existing BI products: Revenue Insight and Spider, the latter of which was added to the OTA Insight product portfolio through last year's acquisition of Kriya RevGEN. Additionally, Gregory will help expand OTA Insight's BI capabilities by introducing new products that meet the demands of hotel commercial teams.

Bill Daviau, CEO of Kriya RevGEN, commented on the company's growth since merging with OTA Insight in April 2022, "We've experienced remarkable progress with our two revenue management-focused BI platforms, Spider and Revenue Insight. However, we've only just begun to tap into the potential of a comprehensive commercial BI platform."

"I've known Greg for over 15 years and knew he'd not only make an immediate impact on our business processes and product vision but also be an excellent cultural fit and liaison between Kriya RevGEN and OTA Insight. We're thrilled to integrate Spider into the overall OTA Insight platform later this year and continue to expand its capabilities in the future."

OTA Insight proudly serves over 60,000 hoteliers in 185 countries. Winner of the Best Rate Shopping & Market Intelligence Solution, Parity Management Software and Business Intelligence categories in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 HotelTechAwards, OTA Insight is widely recognised as a leader in hospitality business intelligence.
