Aaron Bouma, General Manager
Aaron Bouma is a Michigan native and Army brat who began his hospitality career at 14. In 2002, he joined McAlister’s Deli, quickly rising through the ranks and becoming the company’s youngest General Manager at age 22.
Following a brief stint in the U.S. Army, Aaron returned to hospitality, leading Mortimer’s Cafe & Pub during Uptown’s nightlife peak and helping launch Cowbell Burger & Whiskey Bar. He went on to spend four years with RH Rooftop Restaurant.
Today, Aaron is back in independent restaurants with Built On Hospitality, working alongside his wife, Lauren Long, longtime Bar Manager of The Goodyear House.
Lauren Long, Bar Manager
Lauren got her start in the restaurant world the classic way, hosting then serving. During the COVID years, I used the slower pace as an opportunity to step behind the scenes and learn more about the operational and administrative side of the industry, where I discovered a passion for leadership, organization, and building strong systems that support great service.
That path led me to The Goodyear House, where I began bartending and eventually grew into the role of Bar Manager, a position I’ve proudly held for the past three years. I love creating a bar program that’s welcoming, efficient, and rooted in genuine hospitality—for both our guests and our team.
