801 Chophouse

What 801 Chophouse does

801 Restaurant Group (dba 801 Chophouse) is a privately held, multi-brand upscale dining operator founded in 2013 and headquartered operationally around Leawood, Kansas. The group runs three core concepts: the flagship 801 Chophouse steakhouse serving exclusively USDA Prime beef and jet-fresh fish with a Wine Spectator–awarded wine list; 801 Fish, a seafood concept offering globally sourced finned fish and crustaceans; and Pig & Finch Gastropub, an elevated pub-fare concept. Across these brands the group operates roughly ten physical locations spanning Des Moines, Omaha, Kansas City, Leawood, St. Louis, Denver, and Minneapolis, with private dining rooms available at every location for corporate functions, celebrations, and family events.

The company monetizes exclusively through dine-in food and beverage sales at company-owned locations — there is no franchise model, no e-commerce, and no third-party delivery platform — with gift card sales processed through Toasttab and a unified loyalty program, the 801 PRIME Club, delivered via a Thanx-powered mobile app that links payment cards for automatic point accrual. Primary customer segments are upscale dine-in guests (couples, families, celebrants) and business/corporate diners using the venues for client entertainment and corporate expense dining; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by location. Operational technology consists of standard restaurant SaaS integrations (OpenTable, Toasttab, Thanx) with no proprietary platform or AI/ML capability.

The group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Kansas on April 10, 2026, citing approximately $18.7 million in liabilities against $15 million in assets, with financial distress attributed to the closures of 801 Fish in downtown Denver and 801 on Nicollet in Minneapolis and to guaranties given for other entities the group owns. The company has stated that operating restaurants are not in bankruptcy and that no additional locations are expected to close as of mid-April 2026, while acknowledging that further closures remain a possibility as it negotiates with creditors.
