"The most thoughtful, sustainable and well received restaurant deals we've put together for our landlord clients have two things in common without exception: (i) a passionate, talented and driven operator; and (ii) a kickass team supporting, guiding and advocating for that operator."

“[T]his is kind of unique to the restaurant industry... What's nice is... the private equity structure will allow some level of oversight of the restaurants. They got skin in the game and will be involved in operations.”

Andy Husbands

"Groups like RIG, they’re a great option... Because chefs are, a lot of the time, men and women who were making salads really well and someone says you should cook fish; and then they start cooking fish really well and someone says now you should run a restaurant; and then you start doing that really well and someone says now you should run your own restaurant! And we’re not necessarily always trained in the business aspect."
