Concentrics Restaurants

What Concentrics Restaurants does

Concentrics Restaurants is a privately-held restaurant consulting and hospitality operating company headquartered at 566 Dutch Valley Road NE, Atlanta, GA. Founded in 1998 and led by co-founders Bob Amick and Todd Rushing, the firm operates a multi-concept portfolio of roughly 15+ dining and entertainment brands across the Southeast, Sunbelt, and Midwest. Core restaurant concepts include nationally recognized Atlanta flagships TWO urban licks, Bully Boy, Parish, ONE. midtown kitchen, TAP, The Spence, Lobby Bar and Bistro, Room at Twelve, and Murphy's, with regional concepts spanning Florida (Cast & Crew in Daytona, Luke's in Winter Park, Canvas and Bacán in Orlando, HAVEN Kitchen in Lake Nona, Water Pig in Pensacola Beach), Chicago (Lirica), Tuscaloosa (Forte), and Lancaster, PA (Plough). The portfolio has expanded beyond traditional dining into entertainment venues including Painted Duck (duckpin bowling), Painted Pickle (pickleball), and Painted Park (BeltLine recreational venue).

The business generates revenue across four principal streams: (1) food and beverage sales at owned dining locations, (2) private event hosting for groups of 5 to 500 guests including buyouts, (3) off-site catering services, and (4) third-party restaurant consulting under the Concentrics Hospitality brand, where the firm creates bespoke concepts for external clients. Event programming — wine tastings, tequila dinners, fitness brunches, cooking classes, mixology tutorials — is a recurring differentiator that drives both ticket revenue and traffic to the underlying restaurants. Marketing is conducted primarily through a content blog (Happenings), Facebook and Twitter accounts, email newsletter, and the company website, with no mobile app or documented digital platform layer.

Concentrics has no disclosed technology stack beyond a standard website, no public or partner APIs, no AI/ML capabilities, and no external institutional investors. Ownership appears to remain with founders Amick and Rushing. The company temporarily closed its three core Atlanta concepts in March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequently resumed operations, including notable 2024 openings of Cast & Crew, Painted Park, and Painted Pickle that signal active geographic and vertical diversification.
