The Landing Restaurant Group

What The Landing Restaurant Group does

The Landing Restaurant Group is a Canadian full-service restaurant group operating 7 distinct restaurant locations across Ontario (6 locations: Baxters Landing in Oshawa, Harpers Landing in Oakville, Hunters Landing in Toronto, Jacksons Landing in Burlington, Kellys Landing in Toronto, and Taylors Landing in Don Mills) and Alberta (Owens Landing in Calgary). The portfolio targets three customer segments: general consumers seeking casual upscale dining with brunch, happy hour, and late-night offerings; corporate clients organizing business events and client entertainment; and groups hosting social celebrations, weddings, and private events. Each location offers dine-in service with indoor dining rooms, bars, and patios, with combined indoor capacity of approximately 2,047 seats and patio capacity of approximately 983 seats across the portfolio.

The group generates revenue through five primary streams: food and beverage sales at dine-in restaurants; gift cards via the Ultimate Dining Card program (shared with Recipe Unlimited brands); private event and group dining bookings for groups of 20 or more; offsite catering at select locations (Harpers Landing and Kellys Landing); and third-party delivery commissions through Uber Eats, DoorDash, and SkipTheDishes. Pricing follows a pay-as-you-go model with menu items ranging from $11 wine by the glass to $33 steak entrees, supplemented by daily happy hour discounts, half-price wine programs (Wednesdays in Ontario, Saturdays in Calgary), and brunch offerings until 3 PM on weekends and holidays. The Landing Collective email loyalty program provides a complimentary appetizer on signup and a free birthday dessert for retention.

The Landing Group is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Recipe Unlimited Corporation, a large Canadian restaurant conglomerate that also operates brands including Swiss Chalet, Harvey's, Montana's, The Pickle Barrel, and Bier Markt. The parent relationship provides access to shared gift card infrastructure, loyalty program participation (SCENE, CAA Rewards), and corporate operational scale. The group's technology stack is non-proprietary, relying on standard restaurant website infrastructure, OpenTable for reservations, third-party delivery aggregators, and a Zendesk-based contact form. The Landing Group is a registered trademark of Recipe Unlimited Corporation.
