Seward Hospitality Group Vision

Our vision is the become the premiere company for amazing, and local food, superb hospitality, and service that is unparalleled. We want every guest and employee to feel like family, because to us, they really are!

Our Core Values

Kick butt and take names.  No matter what task you are doing, achieve it as fast and as well as you can, then move on to the next.  Be confident that you can overcome any challenge that comes your way!

Our guests make it possible for us to have the jobs we have and live the lives we live. Take every chance to thank them and treat them like you would your own family members.

You have to be happy in what you do! Spread the energy, smile, and see how contagious happiness can be.  Laugh in the face of stress, and have fun kicking its butt!

Have “response-ability”: the ability to control how you respond.  Be aware of the connection between your inner and outer world and the choices you make. You control your own destiny, and when you see that you’re in control of that, the World opens in an amazing way.

If you want more then give more. Be the change you want. Recommend things you think will help.  Do the right thing. No one ever got further in life by saying I want things to stay the same.

You have control of the decisions you make every day and the power to effect change.  Ask yourself, what did you do today to make today better than yesterday!

Be honest with your managers, your coworkers, and yourself.  Care enough to speak up about opportunities for improvement. When we are honest and real, we get real results!

Be friendly and fearless. Take the initiative to make connections. People are loyal to positive connections, and these connections are the keys to success!

The best team members have a positive influence on one another.  Strive to create harmony with each other.  Take ownership of issues and collaborate with each other to overcome challenges.  The role of the manager is to remove obstacles and enable the team to succeed.

No one is perfect, take the time to listen and learn as much as possible.  There’s always an opportunity to grow as people, employees, and managers.
