Shared venue support
Gather 242 manages shared guest areas, common seating, venue events, the bar and self-pour program, building-wide marketing, and the overall guest experience.
Know before you apply
Clear roles. Detailed planning.
Chef operator responsibilities
Each selected operator will lead its concept, menu, staffing, food purchasing, kitchen execution, required licenses, insurance, taxes, and daily food-safety compliance.
Kitchen + utility planning
Current stall concepts range from about 140 to 290 square feet. Final equipment, hood, gas, electric, plumbing, refrigeration, storage, and signage plans will be matched to each selected concept.
Commercial terms
Final rent, fees, revenue-share terms, deposits, utilities, and opening obligations are not being published yet. Qualified operators will receive the proposed economics before being asked to make a commitment.
Florida food-service licensing and plan-review requirements vary by operation. Review the official DBPR permanent food-service guide and confirm the licenses, inspections, and approvals required for your concept.
