Hand Cut Chophouse

What Hand Cut Chophouse does

Hand Cut Chophouse is a privately held modern steakhouse brand operating two full-service restaurant locations in Scottsdale, Arizona and Nashville, Tennessee. The business is owned and operated under Riot Hospitality Group, which provides shared back-office functions including a careers portal, gift card program via Cardfoundry, and the cross-brand Riot Rewards loyalty program. The core offering is dine-in service of hand-cut steaks, chops, burgers, pastas, and elevated American cuisine, complemented by a full mixology bar, craft cocktails, and a wine program. Beef is sourced exclusively through Greater Omaha Packing, with traceable Hereford lineage and premium 'A' maturity grading used as a quality positioning pillar.

The company's revenue mix spans four streams: dine-in food and beverage at both locations, takeout and delivery processed through the Olo online ordering platform, private and semi-private event hosting (accommodating 12 to 300 guests) managed via Tripleseat, and reservations handled through OpenTable. The Scottsdale location is situated in Kierland Commons near Scottsdale Quarter, while the Nashville location is on 7th Avenue South steps from Broadway, with live music programming from local artists available at the Nashville venue. Group and celebratory dining packages (prix-fixe and family-style menus) are sold to corporate event planners, wedding and rehearsal dinner hosts, and social event organizers.

The customer base is split between individual fine dining guests seeking upscale yet high-energy dining experiences and B2B/group buyers purchasing private event space. Marketing is conducted through the company website, Instagram, OpenTable's organic placement, the Riot Rewards email loyalty program, and direct event sales via Tripleseat. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; menus are available as PDFs on the website and group/event pricing is custom-quoted. The company holds no patents, has no disclosed funding rounds, and is not publicly listed.
