PEOPLE-FIRST CULTURE
Rooted in Values. Energized by People.
At Parkhurst, our people-first culture is more than a value – it’s the heart of how we serve, support, and grow together.
WHERE PASSION Meets Purpose
WHERE PASSION
Meets Purpose
We believe the best dining experiences begin with people – those who prepare the meals, those who enjoy them, and the communities they bring together. Our team members are empowered to create more than food – they nourish connections, build belonging, and serve joy through every plate.
FOR OUR GUEST: CREATING BELONGING With Food
We meet the needs of every guest with respect, care, and culinary creativity. From allergen-friendly offerings to culturally relevant and faith-based menus, we ensure everyone who dines with us feels welcomed and included.
INCLUSIVE DINING PROGRAMS
Thoughtfully curated offerings – including halal, allergen-aware, and culturally rooted meals – create space for guests to feel seen and celebrated.
COMMUNITY-DRIVEN MENUS
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all menus. Our teams collaborate at each site to create menus that reflect your unique community and preferences.
FOR OUR TEAM MEMBERS: Purpose, Growth, and Appreciation
FOR OUR TEAM MEMBERS: Purpose, Growth, and Appreciation
Our people are the reason guests return – not just for a meal, but for the feeling that comes with it. We invest in our team members as professionals and individuals, creating a culture rooted in trust, development, and celebration.
Careers That Last
With 800 team members across our hospitality group serving more than 25 years, our Quarter Century Club is a powerful reminder that this is a place people stay, grow, and thrive.
Training & Advancement
From culinary leadership training to our Parkhurst Masters Program, we provide the tools, mentorship, and flexibility to grow across roles and locations to dozens of our operators.
Culture of Recognition
Through moments like Chef Appreciation Week and Team Member Appreciation Month, we celebrate those who bring the heart to our hospitality daily.

CULTURE IMPACT STORY: Meeting Student Needs
In partnership with our Muslim community, we’ve built more than a halal program – we’ve created a culinary celebration that honors faith, tradition, and belonging.
