Hall, 61, has already assumed his new responsibilities focusing on operational execution of O’Charley’s restaurants located across 20 states.

“I am extremely pleased to return to O’Charley’s where I earlier spent 14 years of my career, and again have the exciting opportunity to work closely with an outstanding team in Nashville and throughout the O’Charley’s restaurant base,” Hall says. “Our goal is to continue providing our guests with great quality food and O’Charley’s hospitality.”

Before rejoining O’Charley’s as president, Hall served in various management posts in the restaurant industry. Hall attended The University of Tennessee majoring in Business Administration.

O’Charley’s was formed in 1971 and presently operates more than 200 casual dining restaurants. O’Charley’s restaurants offer classic American food with a focus on fresh ingredients and great hospitality. The company has its headquarters in Nashville.
