Lucky Strike Entertainment appointed Patrick Chung as Executive Vice President of Food & Beverage Operations, the company said on October 14, 2026. Chung will lead the company's food and beverage operations, with a focus on enhancing the guest experience, strengthening execution and driving profitable growth, according to Business Wire.

Chung's Role Leading Lucky Strike Food And Beverage

Chung joins Lucky Strike from MGM Resorts International, where he most recently served as Director of Hospitality Revenue Strategy & Analytics.

At Lucky Strike, Chung will work closely with culinary and field leadership to connect guest insights with practical improvements in the food and beverage experience. His priorities will include refining menu offerings, supporting consistent execution and equipping teams with the tools and information needed to deliver strong results.

"Patrick brings a compelling combination of hospitality experience, analytical discipline and a passion for understanding what guests want."

Chung brings more than a decade of experience spanning hospitality, food and beverage strategy, revenue optimization and e-commerce.
