🎉 Happy Birthday to our amazing General Manager, Jorge! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating someone who means so much to all of us at Cafe Lucci. Jorge started with our restaurant group nearly 10 years ago as a server at Bobby’s Deerfield, and through hard work, dedication, and heart, he has grown into the incredible leader he is today as General Manager of Cafe Lucci.

Jorge brings so much to our team every single day—his work ethic, loyalty, and genuine care for both our guests and staff make a lasting impact. We are incredibly thankful for everything he does and so proud to have watched him grow over the years. We hope you enjoy your day off—you’ve definitely earned it. And knowing Jorge, we’re pretty sure he’ll still find a way to fit in a workout… birthdays count as leg day too, right?

Please join us in wishing Jorge a very happy birthday and an amazing year ahead! 🥂🎂🎈
