I like working for NRG because of the management team, and the professionalism. Plus, all of the great perks being an employee-owned company.

NRG is special because we don’t have company leadership making every decision. Most decision making still lives in the individual businesses that we own. Creative ideas and that spirit drives exciting offerings to our guests. We own the decisions, the results, and the pride.
Tobey Sanborn Director of Training
My opinion matters. I am very lucky to have a support system that trusts my decision making. I love having support from my peers and being able to learn and grow. I also love having the freedom to make decisions within my business unit. It empowers me to keep being better!
Christine Coogan General Manager
When we asked what he loves about Newport Restaurant Group and being an employee-owner, Andy shared "the sense of teamwork and pride in everyone's work!”

What is employee ownership?

Once you’ve become a part of our team, you begin earning shares in our company. That means that we invest real dollars on your behalf, and ultimately the company’s profits are divided among our employees. Year in and year out, the better our restaurants do, the more return you see for your own hard work.
