Hard Count Kitchen & Cocktails

What Hard Count Kitchen & Cocktails does

Hard Count Kitchen & Cocktails is a privately held, single-location full-service restaurant operating at The Summit at Rivery Park, 1500 Rivery Blvd. Suite #2105, Georgetown, Texas. The concept offers American cuisine with Texas-inspired dishes and an extensive specialty cocktail, beer, and wine program, operating seven days a week across extended daypart hours (Mon-Thu 11a-11p, Fri-Sat to 12a, Sun 10a-11p). Menu pricing spans $8.99 kids' meals, $18-$32 dinner entrees, a $25 Sunday brunch buffet, and cocktails priced $6-$14, with a recurring weekday happy hour and weekend live-music programming ('Music in the Yard') on its outdoor patios.

The revenue model is built on five streams: dine-in food service, full-bar beverage sales, full-service catering and large-order pickup/delivery managed through Tripleseat, digital ordering for takeout and delivery through the Bento platform, and gift card sales via CardFoundry. Ancillary revenue levers include Ladies Night, live-music events, private-event hosting (fire pit lounge, patio buyouts), and a dedicated mocktails menu for non-alcoholic occasions. Marketing is conducted almost entirely through organic social (Facebook, Instagram), an email newsletter signup, and the company's WordPress-based website (built/maintained by Pepper Glen Creative).

The primary customer segments are local Georgetown, TX residents and visitors to The Summit at Rivery Park business complex — families with children, working professionals on weekday lunches, after-work happy-hour guests, weekend brunch patrons, and event hosts seeking catering or on-premise gatherings. The restaurant is operated under common ownership with sister concept 2020 Market, also in Georgetown. The business is independently owned, with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional backing, and is supported by a headcount of approximately 6 employees plus likely hourly front- and back-of-house staff not enumerated in the source data.
