Our Values

At OFFSITE, the following pillars are central to our values. We use them to evaluate our company, our projects, and our work, with the goal of creating meaningful change in our community and beyond. This work is ongoing, and we remain committed to it.

  • Examine who is included and who is excluded from the experiences that we create. Pursue inclusive design through collaboration with clients, staff, participants, and their communities to address the variation in capabilities, needs, and aspirations of the diverse hospitality industry.

  • Support local independent businesses in a steady and sustainable way; among these, prioritize BIPOC and LGBTQ+ owned and operated businesses.

  • Hire with intention and promote from within. Ask “Who is represented and who is not?” Implement equitable hiring processes by identifying and removing potential biases in sourcing, screening, and shortlisting qualified, diverse candidates.

  • Acknowledge the role our business plays in perpetuating climate injustice and continuously commit to building a more sustainable future.

  • Recognize that power structures exist in society that enable injustice and violence. Actively seek to create and sustain an empowering work environment—extended to our clients and contractors—that facilitates open dialogue, acknowledges imperfection, combats issues, and implements solutions.

  • Our company exists within a community context. Commit to contributing to the improvement of the social, economic, and environmental well-being of the communities in which we work.

  • Create opportunities to build capacity and agency among our community, and contribute to expanding access to a diverse range of knowledge, skills, and career opportunities.

  • Engage and amplify a broad range of voices from throughout the hospitality industry. Actively pursue and promote initiatives that support the community and its sustainable development.

What’s up
with the
red sharpie?

Partner Nick Korn was working as a barback at a high-volume cocktail bar with a program full of house-made ingredients: syrups, infusions, and bitters at various stages of completion. To keep track of the projects he had started, he began labeling his tape with a red Sharpie, instead of the customary black used by the rest of the team.

At the time, the bar was going through growing pains. Inconsistencies in production were affecting drink specs. There were a few heartbreaking moments when gallons of product had to be poured down the drain. Over time, the team began to notice items marked in red were always reliable. The red Sharpie came to represent a job well done—attention to detail, pride in one’s work.

Wield your Sharpie with care. Stand in your confidence. Mark your work proudly in red!
