Our Mission

José Andrés Group, the company behind José Andrés’ restaurants, has a singular mission: To Change the World Through the Power of Food. Every endeavor is driven by the importance we place on this driving purpose, as well as our core values, which define who we are and what we do: 

Authenticity 

We are storytellers, always seeking to share cultures with truth, compassion, and enthusiasm 

Innovation 

Creativity is at our core, as we push ourselves every day to explore new ways to cook, serve, and share. 

Passion 

Our team is deeply driven by our mission and the desire to do what they love, and to be the very best in the industry. 

Service 

Our guests are at the center of our business, so we are dedicated to the art of personalized, genuine hospitality. 

Profitability 

We must sustain our business in order to continue to be a successful employer and a strong pillar in the industry. Profitability leads to possibility. 

Education and Philanthropy 

Since its inception, José Andrés Group has been involved in its community, both local and global. José started volunteering with the non-profit DC Central Kitchen in his first years in Washington, DC. Ever since, we have had a long-term relationship with DC Central Kitchen and other local organizations who seek to empower people and communities through food. 

We are also intimately involved with the work of World Central Kitchen, the non-profit food relief organization founded by José and his wife Patricia in 2010. WCK is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises, and we support many of their initiatives throughout the year.

José Andrés Group is deeply committed to its team, and has created the ThinkFood Family Fund, whose mission is to support our employees, and their families, in times of need.
