Career

His first purchase was the Ye Waverly Inn, which had been run by a family for three generations. Drory transformed the restaurant into a popular New York hangout and tripled its income in three years as a result of his smart modifications. He sold Ye Waverly Inn for seven figures after 14 years of ownership. Drory then paid $1.25 million for the Cub Room restaurant, which was previously owned by famed chef Henry Meer. After increasing its revenue by 70% and owning it for a decade, Drory sold the restaurant for $2.5 million.[3]

Drory made numerous improvements in the first 40 days after acquiring Artisanal, including saving $1.2 million by lowering expenses and improving the environment for Artisanal's loyal customers.
