CG Public House and Catering

What CG Public House and Catering does

CG Public House and Catering is a family-owned restaurant and hospitality business headquartered at 9221 W Clearwater Avenue in Kennewick, Washington, operating under the legal entity S&S Hospitality, Inc. The company runs three interconnected service lines from a single licensed commercial kitchen: The Public House (a full-service dine-in restaurant open Tuesday through Sunday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with full bar service), CG Catering (off-premise and on-site event catering ranging from drop-off to fully staffed events for weddings, corporate functions, and emergency response), and CG Fresh (an upcoming subscription-based, high-protein, macro-balanced meal prep service currently in pre-registration). It also operates two on-site event venues — the CG Event Center (capacity ~175) and the Amon Creek Room (capacity ~40) — and provides specialized high-volume feeding for wildfire and emergency response crews.

The business generates revenue across five distinct streams: dine-in restaurant sales (individual menu items priced from ~$5.99 to $51.99), takeout and DoorDash marketplace delivery, full-service event catering (quote-based pricing for weddings, corporate events, and government contracts), seasonal holiday meal programs (Thanksgiving and Christmas family meals), and the upcoming CG Fresh subscription meal prep. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct-to-consumer for dine-in and holiday meals, direct sales/enterprise field sales for corporate and government catering (e.g., 25+ year relationship with Bechtel National, Columbia Basin College Foundation, HAPO Community Credit Union, Tri-City Regional Chamber, WA DNR, Washington State Patrol), and channel partnerships through exclusive and preferred catering arrangements with major Tri-Cities venues including Red Lion Hotel Columbia Center, Clover Island Inn, HAPO Center, Events at Sunset, The Moore Mansion, and (upcoming August 2026) The Barrel Hall at Goose Ridge Estate.

Underlying technology is operational rather than productized — a commercial scratch-cooking kitchen supported by Toast POS for front-of-house operations and DoorDash for third-party delivery. No proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or patents are disclosed. The Simmons family owns and operates the business across three generations: founders Chuck and Mabel Wyatt (1979), Shirley and Steve Simmons (1996 partners, catering originators), and third-generation Kyle Simmons (returned 2014, rebranded The Country Gentleman to CG Public House & Catering). The company has 12 listed employees and has been voted Tri-Cities' Best Caterer for 10+ consecutive years.

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• CookUnity: Chef-made, subscription-based meal prep marketplace serving fresh weekly meal plans. Comparable to CG Fresh's chef-prepared, scratch-cooked meal prep subscription model.
• Fooda: Corporate lunch catering marketplace serving workplace meals and corporate events — overlapping CG's corporate catering segment (Bechtel, HAPO, foundations) via a tech-enabled model that represents a competitive threat in mid-market corporate catering.
• Factor (Fresh Factor Meals): National subscription-based, chef-prepared meal prep service focused on high-protein, macro-balanced meals delivered weekly. Directly comparable to CG Fresh's positioning as a subscription meal prep offering, though at much greater scale.

Others

• DoorDash: CG's third-party delivery integration partner for takeout orders. As an infrastructure and distribution ecosystem participant, DoorDash materially shapes CG's delivery-side reach and represents the broader restaurant-tech ecosystem that affects CG's competitive positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Panera Bread: Full-service-café restaurant with an active catering program (breakfast, lunch, group events) and a national subscription/meal kit offering. Comparable to CG's restaurant-plus-catering-plus-meal-prep (CG Fresh) model at scale.
• Cracker Barrel: National family-style restaurant chain offering holiday heat-and-serve meals for Thanksgiving and Christmas — directly parallel to CG's holiday family meals program feeding 6 or 12 people. Also relevant for catering and private event offerings.
• Texas Roadhouse: National full-service casual dining chain offering family-style meals and catering services. Comparable to CG's restaurant side and relevant to CG's casual lunch catering formats (especially the BBQ and Trio platters).
• Maggiano's Little Italy: Darden-owned full-service Italian restaurant with banquet and event catering — comparable to CG's family-style restaurant serving Italian menus (Taste of Italy Wedding Package) and large-group catering. Both serve plated wedding and corporate events.

Direct peers

• Anthony's at Columbia Point: Located in the Tri-Cities (Richland, WA), Anthony's at Columbia Point is a full-service seafood restaurant offering dine-in and private dining for events — the closest direct local competitor to CG's Public House and event catering. Both compete for Tri-Cities wedding and corporate catering business within the same geography.
• Ice Harbor Brewing Company: A Kennewick-based brewpub and restaurant with private event space, directly competing with CG Public House for Tri-Cities dine-in traffic and casual/private event bookings. Same geography and similar full-service model with on-site events.
