San Francisco Bay Area Restaurant Groups
With the high cost of starting a bar or restaurant, high chances of failure or just desire to try something new, many restaurant owners have formed groups to leverage resources, relay momentum, move around employees, and share costs to grow businesses and compete in a highly challenging environment here in the Bay Area.
In my free weekly email newsletter, beyond events & things to do, I curate news articles from around the Bay Area, including news from local businesses regarding labor/employee disputes, acquisitions, pop-ups, collaborations and more. It’s sent out usually on Sundays.

These groups can offer more stability and growth for those looking to build on skills, work in different restaurants and opportunities to work in marketing, operations, beverage directors and more. Similarly, if you like one concept, you may like what else they are doing at other locations.
