Restaurant Opportunities
We don’t have a big vision or purpose statement, just an invitation: We invite you to make a difference.
Our goal is for you to be better off for your time with us and we want to be better because of you (whether we’re a temporary stop or a place you want to build a career). We want you to feel energized coming to and leaving work to develop your leadership skills, and to build confidence in yourself so you can move closer to your career goals, financial goals, and relational goals. We hope to instill in you a love for hospitality and better understanding of leadership, business and restaurants. At Thrive Restaurant Group we act like family and play like a team.
Taking Care of One Another
The Family Fund was created to support Thrive team members and their families when they are faced with unexpected challenges. The Fund is entirely employee-funded, with more than 75% of our team members participating. The Family Fund is governed by a board of employees who are non-owners of Thrive Restaurant Group.
We have given over $900,000 to our team members when disaster strikes! The fund has also covered the lost wages for a single parent when they had to spend a month with their infant son at a regional cancer hospital. It has replaced clothes, toys, and food for families who have their homes destroyed by floods or fire. It has also helped family members flee abusive situations.

Committed to our values, no matter what.
Respect
Respect is the basic notion that everybody is somebody — not a function, cog, or disposable. Each and every person matters. We show respect when anticipate needs and meet them, when we ask questions, when we give feedback and recognition, and when we see and develop the potential in ourselves and others.
Results
The Results we’re after are Flourishing People and Thriving Businesses. We view those as mutually inclusive. A thriving business is the best way to help people flourish. And flourishing people are how we want to create a thriving business. To get results like that, we need you to bring your best ideas to work, your personality, your positivity, your eagerness, and your hopefulness. We want you to make things better.
Relationships
Relationships are foundational to our well being as humans. We were built for connection. Those with healthy relationships are happier, more engaged and more productive, not just at work but in their personal lives as well. To promote healthy relationships we approach everyone from a place of trust, we strive to be excellent to each other, we give and ask for forgiveness, and we keep short accounts. We want you, in all areas of your life, to be better off for your time with us — relationships included.
