Part Two with Thomas Walsh CEO & Founder of Chipshot Pickleball

Behind the Tab is where operators get real—sharing the stories, lessons, and strategies that help entrepreneurs run stronger, smarter businesses. In the second half of our conversation with Thomas Walsh of Chipshot Pickleball, we dig even deeper into what it takes to run a high-volume, high-touch eatertainment venue. From practical, hard-earned insights to some downright scary fraud-fighting stories, Thomas doesn’t hold back. It’s candid, it’s operationally sharp, and it’s packed with takeaways every hospitality leader should hear.
