Ralph Brennan's 5 Core Values (in his own words)
1. Personal & Professional Growth
“I want our team to be better a year from now than they are today. As they grow individually, we grow as a company.”
2. Community & Social Responsibility
“My family has been very lucky, and we give back as much as we can — not always financially, sometimes more in time and effort, because money’s usually always tight.”
3. Guest Service Above All Else
“I stole a line from one of my managers of my restaurant in California: ‘The answer to the question is yes. Now what's the question?' We live it every day.”
4. Honesty & Integrity
“The golden rule: do unto others. The way we treat our staff is how they treat our guests. And I don’t mean just the front of the house — I mean everybody.”
5. Innovation & Change
“You have to come up with new ideas and try new things so you don’t stagnate.”
