WHO WE ARE

The Culinary Creative Group has developed several critically acclaimed restaurants in Denver, CO, Aspen, CO, and New Orleans, LA under their own umbrella or through strategic partnerships. Our restaurants are known for their signature hospitality and commitment to exceptional service, using local, seasonal ingredients, and innovative designs. In addition to continuing to create our own restaurant concepts, we offer our expertise in conceptual design, menu development, and financial and operational management to restaurants across the country. 

The Culinary Creative Group is a Service Included Restaurant Group. This means that a 20% service charge is automatically added to all dine-in checks and a 10% service charge added on to-go orders. This service charge is split equitably between every person that has a hand in the guests’ experience. It 100% goes to labor. 30% is taken off the top which helps support manager salaries, employee of the quarter bonuses, or any staff bonuses. The remaining balance is split with the majority going to the Front of House and the difference to the Back of House.
Any additional gratuities received, both cash and credit, are split amongst the Front of House staff only.  

0% of the service charge goes to owners, partners or investors.

OUR MISSION: The mission of the Culinary Creative Group is to create businesses that are welcoming, purposeful and community driven; to be progressive, socially conscious leaders in our community. 

OUR VISION:  We work to focus our creativity towards the pleasure of our guests, and we exercise our hospitality by listening and adjusting the execution of our work to suit their needs in order to remain competitive in a very dynamic environment.

OUR VALUES:  The values of the Culinary Creative Group are exhibited by an absolute devotion to the guests and to our team members welfare. We do this courteously, and we do it with humility, honesty, integrity, and professionalism.

Our restaurants are a reflection of our people that we entrust with the image of our brands.  We have a bias for action, which means we have a propensity towards making decisions that leave our world a better place. At Culinary Creative Group, our love language is food and drink. It is deeply personal and rooted in the sense of place in time. Our service is warm and professional, our venues just happen to be very modern. The theatre of service is executed best when we treat our guests with kindness, respect, and humility. 

HOW DO WE DO THIS?

We believe our employees are our best asset. Our employees truly value making a difference at work. When people feel they matter, they’re more satisfied, creative, and willing to contribute positively. We provide diverse experiences for learning, development and various opportunities for growth.

The Culinary Creative group stands firm in the belief that our hospitality continues outside the walls of our restaurants to the communities in which we are lucky enough to live, work and play. This commitment extends to our state, our country, and the world at large. We partner with several organizations that provide services and support for the communities we live and work in. The work these organizations do amazes and humbles us, so we do much more than simply donate a percentage of sales to support them; we raise money, we roll up our sleeves, we get to work.
