A veteran in the hospitality industry, Nick Pyknis is the co-owner and president of Infusion Management Group.
Earlier in his career, Nick spent 14 years in management with the Fine Dining Division of ARAMARK, a position that ultimately introduced he and business partner, Rick Roman, to The Signature Room at the 95th. He also worked with ARAMARK Leisure Group directing regional food and beverage events across the United States.
Nick has directed immense food and beverage operations during his career, including the 1986 Super Bowl in New Orleans, the 1988 and 1989 Philadelphia Flower Shows, and the 1992 opening of the Baltimore Orioles Stadium. A native of Greece, Nick recalls growing up on his family’s farm in Chios as a humbling experience. Nick’s wife, Beth, and his two sons, Alexander and Christopher, travel with Nick on frequent visits to his hometown on the Greek coast to see family and friends.
Drawing on his accounting background and a business degree from Commercial Junior College, Chios, Nick ensures that the restaurant and lounge operations meet established financial goals. He is actively involved in day-to-day operations and lends expertise as a former beverage manager in the development of the restaurant's wine list and liquor selections.
He currently resides in Palos Park with his family and can be found playing ball with his two sons. When he’s not overseeing the action at the Signature Room, you can find him visiting Las Vegas and Greece.
