Eat Well Hospitality

What Eat Well Hospitality does

Eat Well Hospitality is a privately held, Chicago-based restaurant and hospitality group founded in 2021 by Michelin-starred chef Doug Psaltis (Co-founder and President) and Emmy-award winning journalist and pastry chef Hsing Chen (Co-founder, Head of Creative, Brand and Communication). The group operates a portfolio of three owned dine-in concepts — Asador Bastian (Basque-inspired steakhouse), Andros Taverna (Greek taverna), and Mano (Italian) — targeting consumers seeking elevated neighborhood and fine-dining experiences across different cuisines and occasions. Operations are supported by a small core team that includes a Director of Hospitality/Operations and two advisors/board members.

The company's business model is anchored in restaurant operations: revenue is generated through dine-in service at its owned concepts across distinct culinary traditions. Complementing restaurant operations, Eat Well Hospitality sells a separate line of consulting, management, restaurant-design, and culinary-mentorship services to enterprise hospitality buyers such as resorts, hotels, restaurants, bars, and conference centers; distribution for consulting is via direct outreach and email inquiry. Marketing and customer engagement are driven primarily through the company's Squarespace website and per-concept Instagram channels, with no disclosed pricing or menu economics.

The underlying 'technology' is operational rather than digital: concept development, kitchen execution, and front- and back-of-house hospitality processes led by senior culinary and brand talent with prior experience at Michelin-starred NYC establishments (Country, Alain Ducasse's Mix, ADNY) and major media outlets (Dateline NBC, TiVo). The group offers no app, no API, no proprietary software platform, no patents, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. The founders retain significant operational and strategic control; no external investors, parent company, or funding rounds were identified in the source data.
