Avanti Restaurant Solutions announcd Chris Mazzilli as the company’s Director of Sales. Mazzilli will be responsible for driving revenue as well as managing the sales team. Both Avanti and its customers will benefit from the 21 years of knowledge he has accumulated while working in the food service industry.

Avanti hired Mazzilli because he has a proven track record of increasing sales and overseeing sales teams throughout his 20 plus year career. He spent the majority of his career as a Manufacturer’s Representative overseeing a sales team in Northern California and calling on Dealers, Consultants, and Chain Customers. Mazzilli then left his position as principal of that Rep Firm to become President of a dealership in San Diego. When the opening became available at Avanti, he seized the opportunity to work with a company dedicated to the growth of its national chain business. “Avanti has an excellent national reputation and is quickly becoming the number one chain dealer in the nation. I have had a long-standing relationship with Avanti and it seemed like a natural fit.”

CEO Mark Rossi is confident Mazzilli is just the person to help drive the future growth of Avanti. “Chris is completely aligned with our company’s culture, vision and values. Not only is he a great fit, but he can help us achieve our strategic goal to triple our revenue by the end of 2020.”

Since its start in 2003, Avanti has designed and installed kitchens for category-leaders such as Blaze Pizza, Noodles & Company, and Qdoba.
