About Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants

Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants (LEYE) is an independent, family-owned restaurant group based in Chicago that owns, manages and licenses restaurants in Illinois, Minnesota, Maryland, Nevada, California, Texas, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and most recently Florida. We were founded in June 1971 by Richard Melman and Jerry A. Orzoff with the opening of R.J. Grunts and today, thanks to the creativity of our partners, we proudly service guests at more than 60 concepts ranging from fast casual to fine dining restaurants.

CARING FOR PEOPLE ON EARTH SINCE 1971: Lettuce’s Culture of Caring is at the heart of everything we do.
Everyone at Lettuce is encouraged to develop and grow in their own way, and those with the desire, qualifications and drive find real opportunity for advancement. There’s proof: a lot of Lettuce leaders began their careers in entry-level positions in our restaurants. The secret to their success is no secret. It’s dedication to excellence, outstanding performance and consistently going above and beyond.
CARING FOR YOURSELF
You can only care for others if you take good care of yourself. We support your efforts to be physically and emotionally well.
CARING FOR EACH OTHER
Our success depends on everyone working together as a team. We believe that asking for help is a sign of strength and we are always there for each other.
CARING FOR OUR GUESTS
We do whatever it takes to make every guest happy. We call it above and beyond.

"We are committed to the development of our people, which in turn leads to the success of our business.” - Richard Melman
