We are a company of big dreams and humble beginnings. Started as a single car-hop style restaurant in Pittsburgh in 1949, Eat’n Park Hospitality Group has grown into a portfolio of regional foodservice concepts focused on personalized dining. Our brands include: - Eat’n Park Restaurants, a full-service family restaurant chain - Parkhurst Dining Services, a provider of catering and contract dining services to businesses, higher education institutions, and cultural centers - SmileyCookie.com, an online store offering fresh-baked, customized, hand-iced cookie gifts for delivery throughout the U.S. - The Porch, a neighborhood bistro featuring thoughtfully-crafted seasonal food made with fresh ingredients from our local partners and farms - Hello Bistro, a fast-casual restaurant where burgers and salads come together. There’s a common focus throughout every branch of our organization: PEOPLE. From the thousands of guests, clients, residents, and visitors that we serve every day in each of our locations, to the more than 9,000 team members who are at the heart of our company…we care about people. We’re committed to treating our guests and team members like friends, serving outstanding food and, above all, doing the right thing. We love what we do, and we love making people smile.
