Thomas Keller on Core Values

The Thomas Keller Restaurant Group is more than a group of restaurants dedicated to quality food and exemplary service. We are a group of individuals committed to the common goal of creating fond memories for our guests and ourselves, elevating the standards and expectations of the restaurant industry and developing a secure and ideal work environment. To achieve these goals we must all work at them tirelessly, fearlessly and with the following values deeply imbued in our core.

• Modesty — Work toward achieving greatness, but maintain humility.

• Integrity — Use your best judgment; perform your work selflessly, honestly and caringly.

• Respect — Show respect for our peers, our supervisors, our industry and our guests.

• Responsibility — Recognize and embrace the responsibility we have to our peers, our supervisors, our critics, our industry and ourselves to uphold the success we have achieved.

• Awareness — Keep an open mind. Recognize innovation and realize inspiration, which will result in evolution and growth.

• Initiative — Have the courage to take initiative and the conviction to follow through. Search for new ideas and means of improvement.

• Collaboration — Work together to achieve results that are greater than those you can achieve alone.

• Consistency — Maintain our standards of quality moment to moment, day to day, and year to year.

• Impact — Make a positive difference in the experience of our guests and those around us.

• Success — Create fond memories for our guests and each other.

• Legacy — Establish a benefit to the guest, the restaurant or the company that outlives us
