Maple Hospitality Group

Maple Hospitality Group is a Chicago-based hospitality group founded in 2015 that creates and operates restaurant concepts across seven U.S. markets: Chicago, Scottsdale, Dallas, Miami, Boston, Santa Barbara and New York. The portfolio comprises five distinct concepts, each with its own culinary identity and guest experience: Maple & Ash, built around modern wood-fired cooking; Marisella; Monarch; Kessaku; and Eight Bar, a cocktail-led neighbourhood dining and bar concept.

The group's work spans restaurant concept development, culinary arts and wood-fired cooking, hospitality operations, cocktail and bar programme development, and private dining and event experiences. It is led by restaurateur Jim Lasky and chef Danny Grant, who holds two Michelin stars. Across the portfolio, the emphasis is on experiences conceived as original rather than formulaic.

Maple Hospitality Group describes its culture in four principles: generosity, excellence, fun, and failing fast in order to improve. It looks for people who work comfortably at a fast pace, who are committed to continual learning, and who take pride in hospitality.
