Descriptiontext

Shari's Management Corporation is a privately held operator of family-style full-service restaurants doing business as Shari's Cafe & Pies, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, with its flagship location in San Bruno, California. The company operates eight restaurants across California (San Bruno, Rohnert Park, Red Bluff), Washington (Vancouver, Olympia, Bellingham, Moses Lake), and Idaho (Meridian, Twin Falls), serving classic American comfort food — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — with hand-carved sandwiches, made-to-order omelettes, and a signature line of award-winning pies (including Chocolate Cream, Dutch Apple, Marionberry Cheese, Banana Cream, and Strawberry Rhubarb) made with pure milk and whole ingredients.

The underlying operating technology is standard restaurant point-of-sale and kitchen systems with no proprietary technology features, no mobile application, and no API or SDK infrastructure. Orders are placed in-restaurant or through a third-party online ordering platform (order.online) for pickup and delivery available seven days a week, with hours generally running 8 AM to 10 PM (11 PM on Fridays and Saturdays). A digital gift card program is offered through the corporate website.

The revenue model is purely consumer-facing: dine-in restaurant sales, online pickup orders, delivery orders, and gift card purchases, all priced on a per-transaction basis with no disclosed subscription, loyalty membership, or B2B catering revenue streams. The customer base is entirely individual consumers and families; there are no named enterprise accounts. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, no parent company, and operates as an independent private entity under the leadership of CEO Samuel Nicholas Borgese, CFO Dan Smith, COO/CPO Warren Boone, and interim CSO Leslie Crook.
