Our
Values
Transparency
We believe responsible business owners hold no secrets from their teams. From financial reporting, to payroll, to ownership income and expense, we believe it is the essential responsibility of owners to be fiscally transparent with their teams.
Innovation
Food and Drink have been bringing people together since the beginning of time, but in the world economy today, access to new ingredients and new combinations are still being explored. We are passionate about bringing innovation to pallets here at home.
Principles
Often, when faced with decisions, people choose what is easy or convenient or the least expensive solution. We believe in doing the RIGHT thing, even if it isn’t easy or convenient or cheap. As leaders, we hold our duty to our team very close. Each member of our team is an essential part, and we want them to have the best we offer them, even at our own expense.
Respect
We believe all people deserve respect. “The customer is always right in matters of taste,” is a quote often tossed around in restaurants. But too often staff are treated disrespectfully. When you join our club, it enters you into a handshake agreement: We will treat you like long lost family in our home, and we expect you to treat our team with the same respect.
OUR PEOPLE
Our team of professionals believe that the most important ingredient in service and Food and Drink, is love. Love for what we do, what we make, and what we provide.
