Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity. Although the petitioner described a multi-tiered reporting structure, the evidence did not sufficiently prove that the beneficiary's role consisted primarily of managerial duties rather than performing the day-to-day operational tasks of running the restaurant.
