Brinker hires supply chain SVP

Brinker International Inc. has named David Parsley to the new position of senior vice president of supply chain management.

Parsley will oversee purchasing, distribution and quality assurance for the company’s two brands, Chili's Grill & Bar and Maggiano's Little Italy, the company said Tuesday.

Doug Brooks, Brinker’s president and chief executive, said in a statement that “as rising commodity costs continue to put pressure on the foodservice industry, Brinker remains resolute in our proactive assault on margins.”

Parsley most recently was chief executive of Centralized Supply Chain Service, a cooperative that bought primarily for DineEquity Inc. Prior to that role, Parsley managed the same functions for Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar.

Dallas-based Brinker operates or franchises more than 1,500 casual-dining restaurants in 31 countries and two territories. It also holds a minority investment in Romano's Macaroni Grill.
