Presented by :
TASTE_Fatima_ARTICLE_2340x1314

Fatima Popal is the Chief Operating and Financial Officer of the Popal Group, a family-owned hospitality business based in Washington D.C. and behind beloved restaurants Lapis, Pascual, Lutèce, and Maison. For this Resy Generations interview, we talk about what it’s like running a family restaurant business, and what it’s like to sit down for dinner with your family (and co-workers).

The views expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers – not of Resy—and do not constitute professional advice.
