Joe Bee

Restaurant Operations

A dedicated leader with a decade of hands-on hospitality experience, Joe Bee brings heart, precision, and a deep respect for the guest experience to every restaurant he touches. His career has spanned from Raleigh’s beloved local spots to Seattle’s acclaimed dining scene, where he refined his leadership and operational expertise in both casual and fine dining environments.

Now rooted back in North Carolina, Joe’s focus lies in building strong, collaborative relationships between kitchen and dining room teams, fostering environments where hospitality thrives, and teams are empowered to grow. Under his guidance, Colletta Cary quickly earned recognition as one of the Triangle’s standout restaurants, including “Best New Restaurant” by Cary Magazine and The News & Observer.

Outside of work, Joe finds balance in simple pleasures, fishing, gardening, and spending time outdoors with his wife of ten years. Thoughtful and grounded, he embodies the spirit of genuine hospitality: always learning, always leading, and always staying humble.
