What Stonewood Grill & Tavern does

Stonewood Grill & Tavern, operating through its parent entity Stonewood Restaurant Group, LLC, is a privately held Florida-based casual dining restaurant chain specializing in oak-grilled steaks, fresh seafood, and American cuisine. The company operates seven restaurant locations across Florida in Jacksonville, Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, Heathrow, Tampa, Brandon, and North Sarasota, positioning itself as "Florida's Neighborhood Restaurant." Headquartered at 810 Fentress Ct., Suite 130 in Daytona Beach, the company reports an employee headcount of 1,001–5,000 and is led by CEO Gale Lemerand under a founder/management-owned LLC structure with no disclosed parent, institutional, or private equity ownership.

The company's core product is full-service dine-in dinner service (operating hours roughly 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, with Friday and Saturday extending to 9:30 PM), supplemented by complementary revenue channels including curbside to-go, third-party and native delivery, online reservations, gift cards (with a $10 bonus card per $50 purchased), private and group dining rooms, and pre-built family meal bundles. There is no proprietary technology platform; operations rely on standard restaurant POS systems, a website-based online ordering flow, and third-party SMS marketing infrastructure (Voxie Ventures, LLC). The technology and customer-acquisition stack consists of a content-marketing blog ("Casual Flavors"), an E-Club email newsletter, organic social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, and a VIP SMS texting program.

The business model is straightforward transaction-based food and beverage revenue across dine-in, takeout, delivery, gift card, and private event channels, with marketing driven by daily deals (such as $20 Surf & Turf Tuesdays and happy hour specials), holiday menus, and loyalty-style email and SMS programs targeting Florida adult and family diners as well as group/private event customers. A notable local sourcing relationship exists with Copper Bottom Craft Distillery (Holly Hill, FL), whose rum products are featured in exclusive Stonewood cocktails. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, the company has no app, no public API, no disclosed funding rounds, and operates entirely within the Florida market.
