Making Raving Fans Hospitality Group Promotes Meg Daigle to Vice President as Company Continues...
BATON ROUGE, La. - October 21, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Making Raving Fans Hospitality Group, the parent company of Baton Rouge restaurants Jubans Restaurant, SoLou, Portobello's Grill, and P-Beau's, promoted Meg Daigle to be the company's new Vice President of Operations. Daigle's promotion will provide owners Peter Sclafani, Kiva Guidroz, and Michael Boudreaux more time to focus on more business development, including establishing new restaurant concepts and expanding current Making Raving Fans concepts.
Daigle started her career with Portobello's Grill, one of the Making Raving Fans restaurant concepts, 26 years ago as a college student when she worked as a server before the restaurant relocated away from its Lee Dr. location in Baton Rouge. After graduating from LSU, Daigle moved on to New Orleans as Director of Operations for Raising Cane's in the early 2000s as the chain was first beginning its rapid expansion. She then went on to hone her full-service skills as part of the team that relaunched Commander's Palace in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
Daigle returned to Making Raving Fans in Baton Rouge in late 2021, rejoining as Director of People, Culture, and Training, and has since proven herself as a leader within the company. Under Daigle's leadership, Making Raving Fans has consistently hired top-tier talent even as the hospitality industry faces continued hiring challenges, and she has headed up several initiatives to improve training and company culture.
"During my time in New Orleans, I learned a lot about how to run restaurants efficiently and how to scale operations, and a lot of those skills translate to the type of business model that Making Raving Fans operates under," said Daigle. "When I saw an opportunity to come back home to Baton Rouge and work with the Making Raving Fans team and help them continue their growth, I didn't hesitate to reach out."
Daigle's recent promotion to Vice President of Operations will allow her to continue to impact the company's culture while leading the Director of Operations, Director of Culinary, and 41 store-level managers.
"Meg has been phenomenal in leading operations and ensuring that our customers have the best dining experience at all of our restaurants," said Peter Sclafani, co-owner of Making Raving Fans Hospitality Group. "With her as our first-ever Vice President, Kiva, Michael and I will have more time to focus on continuing to grow our business with the confidence that Meg is able to uphold the current operations. We're looking forward to expanding the SoLou brand along the I-10 corridor and exploring new concepts as well."
Making Raving Fans Hospitality was created in 2020 but was initially comprised of restaurants that have been serving high-quality food and drink in the Baton Rouge area for many years. The hospitality group was formed when Chef Peter Sclafani and Kiva Guidroz came together as partners, bringing their decades of experience under one name. Michael Boudreaux later joined the group in 2021, and the team has since added new establishments to its growing portfolio of restaurants. Together, the team continues to push the envelope of Baton Rouge's culinary culture.

Ambergris Cay, a private island located in the Turks & Caicos Islands, features 1,100 acres of largely untouched, natural landscapes and ocean views as far as the eye can see. The island itself has one of only two International Airports in Turks & Caicos and has an airstrip long enough to land a Gulfstream 450. With 7 beautiful, all-inclusive villas for rent, ranging from 3 to 6 bedrooms, guests have many different choices to suit every style.
Ambergris Cay can be reached both by commercial flights (with a short 20-minute flight from Providenciales on one of the island's private planes) and by private jet. Since the island offers an international airport, private jet guests can land on Ambergris Cay, clear customs and immigration and be sitting on their villa deck sipping cocktails within minutes.
The all-inclusive aspect of renting the villa makes the vacation stress-free and ensures more time is spent with family and friends and less time is spent on planning and preparing meals or organizing activities. Complimentary activities include a boat trip to Little Ambergris Cay to enjoy the floating Tiki Bar, bone fishing from the shore, hiking trails, bike riding around the island, and exploring in a golf cart. A nature-lovers paradise, Ambergris Cay is home to exotic flora and fauna, adding bird watching, nature walks, and stargazing to the list of experiences on offer. The inclusions at Ambergris Cay include a la carte meals with daily menus, snacks throughout the day, and premium beverages.
The villas at Ambergris Cay all afford stunning ocean views and come with an island host and golf cart for exploring the island. The luxurious 6-bedroom villa, Dream Pavilion, includes the dedicated services of a private chef and butler and offers two swimming pools and a private beach. Chef services may be booked separately for all other villas, and all guests may enjoy meals in the island's restaurants. Every detail for a villa stay has been attended to at Ambergris Cay. The experience is bespoke, tailored and ever evolving; that is the Ambergris Cay difference.

WeSky Launches World’s Lightest 60W USB In-Seat Power Solution Boosting Commercial Aviation Efficiency
The ever increasing processing power of Personal Electronic Devices (PED) requires high-capacity batteries that in turn requires fast charging solutions. Existing onboard high power charging solutions on the market are heavy preventing airlines from choosing these systems due to weight budget constraints. WeSky engineers have created a smart USB in-seat fast charging product that is the lightest on the market.
"Our new recharge™️ product is an efficient 60W USB in-seat charging solution, that weighs 70% less than current available products, yet has rapid charging. It brings many benefits to commercial airlines including a reduction in fuel consumption which also has benefits for the environment," said WeSky Founder and CEO Vytis Petrusevicius.
"Based on our current sales activities and request for proposals we are forecasting and already negotiating orders for over 20 million USD in revenue of recharge™️ in-seat power systems within next 24 months," said Marius Barcas, Head of Sales.
WeSky recently secured additional funding from US based Notarc Investment Partners in order to ramp up production of its current product line while also expanding research and development of new avionics equipment.
"These are the kind of ventures that fit with our sustainable investment mandate and which have an immediate positive impact on the environment, industry and end user. Legacy businesses and industries must continue to evolve and innovate and we have a responsibility as investors to help speed up innovation and to do our part to support such ventures," said Leslie C. Bethel, CEO of Notarc Management Group and recently appointed WeSky Board Member.

WeSky was founded on the sole principle of developing aviation technology and innovation in electronics which can have a positive impact on operational efficiency while also helping legacy industries make immediate progress toward attaining their sustainable goals which is critical to our planet and survival.
The recharge™️ is the world's lightest and most compact 60W USB in-seat power solution, with the same weight as 15W USB charging solutions currently on the market.
