If your tastes run to grapes, we have a carefully crafted wine list and celebrate it with our Wine Wednesdays, which feature half priced bottles of wine all day.
Stone Cove's Core Principles
Clean
Seek and show - not hide. At night, lay your head down knowing you have done your best to do good things, make a difference, and create real jobs.
Avant
Swing the bat. Sometimes you will "swing and miss" but learn, grow, and move on, tenaciously striving to do good things, make a difference, and create real jobs.
Responsible
Make every move count. Embrace your responsibilities and fulfill your commitment to the team, fueling the KitBars’ Passion and Purpose to do good things, make a difference, and create real jobs.
Engaging
Make their agenda your agenda. Reach out a hand and commit to being the reason they want to return to the KitBar, enabling us to do good things, make a difference, and create real jobs.
Sharing
Check your ego at the door. Ask not what your teammates can do for you but what you can do for your teammates, doing your part to help the KitBar do good things, make a difference, and create real jobs.
Cheftenders
Our ChefTenders work to make sure each customer’s experience is enjoyable & entertaining. ChefTenders execute their responsibilities of waiter, bartender and cook with an emphasis on offering magical hospitality.
The KitBar design allows ChefTenders to easily serve guests more efficiently than traditional restaurants.
Our ChefTenders work to fulfill a key part of the Stone’s Cove mission to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere and a place where guests leave feeling like they’ve made a new friend.
Our Initiative:
Venture Philanthropy
The driving force behind the creation of the KitBar was to establish a Venture Philanthropy business that focused on doing good things and making a difference. Stone’s Cove’s motivation is rooted in the belief that a guest’s good times should, in return, benefit others. Stone's Cove contributes to the Do Good Things Foundation as well as other local charities which rotate per season.
We do this with our do good things Sundays by allowing each guest to choose a charity of their choice for Sone's Cove to donate 10% of their bill to. We believe it’s not the size of the act, but the heart that goes into the act, that makes a difference.
