MELTING POT
We operate polished casual restaurants that serve cheese fondue as the centerpiece of the dining experience, along with beef, chicken, seafood, vegetable fondue, prepared entrees, chocolate fondue, salads, fruit, fresh breads, and beer, wine, and cocktails. Our restaurants are designed for relaxed dining and conversation, with a unique layout, lighting, music, and service style that support a memorable table-side meal. Guests take part in the experience by cooking some of the food themselves in fondue pots or on tabletop grills and burners. We serve individual consumers and the general public for on-site dining in a full-service restaurant setting. We also maintain a core beverage program and operate under standards for menus, recipes, décor, equipment, and service.
