Our Team

Zach Durrette

Vice President of Operations

With a career in hospitality that began long before he realized it, Zach has been part of the Parry Restaurant Group team since 2018. Today, Zach provides operational leadership across PRG’s Richmond and Danville establishments, working closely with General Managers to support their teams, strengthen operations, and identify opportunities for continued growth. Additionally, he oversees PRG’s catering and events operations, supporting the team behind each event and looking for ways to improve the experience for both clients and guests.

Hospitality has been a part of Zach’s life from an early age. As a child, he spent time with the cooks at Paradise Cafe, a Richmond restaurant and bar owned by his mother. As he grew older, he worked at an indoor sports facility concession stand, then as a concierge at The Jefferson Hotel, where he developed an appreciation for guest service from a different perspective. From there, he joined Parry Restaurant Group at 23rd & Main as a Food Runner and Server, and about a year and a half later was promoted to General Manager, beginning a career with PRG that has continued to evolve.

What Zach enjoys most about his work is the people around him and the opportunity to watch them grow. He takes particular pride in helping employees develop into new roles and become confident leaders, and considers the growth of the people he has worked with one of the most rewarding parts of his career. He also enjoys the ever-changing nature of the hospitality industry, from new projects and concepts to the challenges and opportunities that come with continued growth.

Outside of work, Zach enjoys spending time with his Shepherd-Husky mix (Nox), traveling, trying new restaurants, and spending time with family.
