Who We Are

At Salted, we believe the future of restaurants doesn’t look anything like what we see today. The most important brands will be built outside four walls and will find new, innovative ways to build deep relationships with their customers. Currently, Salted is the largest delivery‑first restaurant group in the US, with locations in 10 states and 20+ cities. We build, own and operate better‑for‑you restaurant brands that define how a new generation of customers want to eat.
