Salt & Iron

What Salt & Iron does

Salt & Iron is a single-location full-service Pacific Northwest restaurant operating at 321 Main Street in Downtown Edmonds, Washington, founded in 2014 and employing approximately 20 people. The restaurant's core offering is a premium dine-in experience built around fresh local oysters from Taylor Shellfish, premium steaks, and PNW seafood, accompanied by a curated wine program featuring Washington and Oregon allocations, craft cocktails, and a full bar. Menu price points range from $4 brunch items to $95 steaks and a $145 Iron Sampler platter, positioning the concept at the upper-middle of the casual-fine-dining segment.

The business operates multiple revenue streams: dine-in food and beverage (the primary driver, with daily dinner service, weekend brunch, and weekday happy hour), private dining and events (accommodating up to 60 guests for corporate events, weddings, and celebrations requiring a 10% deposit), gift cards sold through Toast Tab, and ancillary corkage fees ($25 per bottle). GTM is direct-to-consumer via walk-ins, reservations, online ordering through Toast Tab, private event bookings, and a VIP newsletter program. The restaurant has no disclosed partnership with delivery aggregators and relies on its website, social media, and foot traffic from the Edmonds Arts Corridor, Kingston Ferry, and Farmer's Market to drive demand.

The company is owned and operated by Feedme Hospitality & Restaurant Group, a Seattle-area hospitality operator managing a portfolio of eight restaurant brands including Sankai Sushi, Bardojo, Fire & The Feast, and Market Fresh Fish. Technology is limited to the Toast Tab commerce platform for POS, online ordering, gift cards, and marketing signup — there is no proprietary software, AI, or data infrastructure. Geographic reach is single-site within the USA, with no disclosed expansion plans, M&A activity, or external funding.
