Our Core Values

We live and breathe our company core values. Here’s how we use them to define our experiences and strengthen our company culture.

Embrace Quirky

Peek Inside Our Fridge

As part of our hiring and vetting process, we ask prospective employees to take us on a video tour of their fridge! It allows us to see the person’s hosting abilities, plus get to know them on a more personal level based on what they like to eat! Because after all, we are what we eat.

 

Breathe Curiosity

Eat, Innovate, Repeat

We’re expert food and drink curators who go out to eat and call it β€œresearch.” We’re constantly on the hunt for the next cool pop up concept, most unique cocktail bar trends, and viral TikTok recipes. We’re passionate about all things food and love sharing that passion with our guests.

Improve Continuously

We’re Next Level Organized

We refuse to be stagnant in our work and strive to be better every step of the way. We work with new technologies to stay efficient and organized, like Airtable to stay on top of every last detail, AI for outlining documents, and Zapier to keep it all running smoothly.

Build Awesome Experiences

We’re Guinea Pigs for Our New Experiences

We’re constantly developing, testing, revising, and retesting before bringing our experiences to you. Like recipe developers, we make mistakes and try new things as we build and improve. By the time you sink your teeth into one of our experiences, it’s passed our awesomeness test.Β
