Matthew Langler, a familiar face in the FMK family, joined in 2019 and has worked across nearly all eleven FMK restaurants before finding his home at Chop House.

​

A Central Floridian from Ocala, Matthew was drawn to FMK for its focus on employees and guests. “I saw this company growing and wanted to be part of its success,” he shared. Inspired by his father’s restaurant work, Matthew started in hospitality at 13 and became a pizzeria co-manager by 18.

​

​He credits FMK with helping him grow personally and professionally. “I’ve recognized my potential and achieved success here,” he said.

​

Matthew’s goals include developing his team and providing guests with memorable experiences. He values his teammates and regulars, saying, “Our regulars feel like family.”

​

To his guests, Matthew says, “We put you first and truly listen to your opinions.”
