The Epicurean Group is different from other food service firms in that we not only value and provide the best food and food service, but we work to build long-lasting relationships coupled with personalized, local management that you can trust. Our founders have believed in and promoted these values in their work in the Bay Area and throughout California for more than nineteen years.

We believe that fresh, delicious food and environmental responsibility go hand-in-hand. We use the freshest, seasonal fruits and vegetables that are grown and harvested in an environmentally responsible manner. This includes using meat from animals raised on healthy grains and grass instead of processed feed and hormones, and organic fruits and vegetables from local farmers. The Bay Area is home to some of the best organic farms in the world and we intend to take full advantage of this blessing.

Our core values:

	Provide the highest-quality food and dining experience
	Recruit, retain, and reward a diverse employee and management base that is committed to excellence and the mission of the Epicurean Group
	Encourage and support teamwork to complete every task
	Promote high achievement through advanced education and mentoring
	Maintain a safe work environment throughout the community
	Create an atmosphere that encourages all community members to take responsibility, make positive changes, and share new ideas, understanding that failure is part of the learning and growing cycle
	Embrace a culture that nurtures innovation and shared ownership in all phases of service
	Prepare food in an environmentally responsible manner
	Create an open, welcoming community of clients, customers, and employees that exceeds expectations
