The culinary/tech-focused company is founded by former Unidine and Sodexo execs, Richard Schenkel and Joe Cuticelli, who are betting they know exactly what their generation wants to experience with senior dining’s independent living side.
On Oct. 1, Restaura Hospitality Group kicks off its quest to bring the latest in tech and culinary to every facet of dining operations for senior living communities, focusing on active senior living communities rather than skilled nursing facilities. The founders, Richard Schenkel, founder and former exec at Unidine and Joe Cuticelli, former Sodexo exec, have high hopes for this new venture, and are offering 35% of the company to employees for part-ownership, a move intended to strengthen the company’s culture.
While today marks the launch of Restaura, it’s been in the works for the past 18 months.
