Who We Are
At The Dining Room Group, we believe every space can be more than a place to dine—it can be a destination that connects people and communities. Founded by a multi-store restaurateur and real estate developer, we partner with restaurants, developers, and municipalities to transform food service and adjacent spaces through strategy that works in the real world. From concept development and menu design to operations, marketing, PR, and compliance, we help businesses thrive with purpose, precision, and profitability. Everyone is welcome at our table.
Built by Operators, for Operators
Unlike other firms, we’ve been in your shoes—we’ve owned, operated, and scaled. That real-world experience gives us a practical edge: we understand the day-to-day challenges, and we design solutions that not only look good on paper but also work on the floor, in the kitchen, and with your team.
