To provide a fun and rewarding environment for our team, our guests and the communities we serve.
Jackmont Hospitality was founded in 1994 by Daniel Halpern and the late Maynard H. Jackson, Jr., the first African-American mayor of Atlanta and a champion for economic inclusion. Maynard believed that hospitality could be more than great food and service; it could be a pathway to opportunity. That belief still drives us today.
What began as a single TGI Fridays restaurant has grown into a national hospitality company with a footprint in some of the busiest airports and best cities in the country. Along the way, we’ve done more than scale — we’ve earned a reputation for mentorship, equity, and hospitality with soul, as well as national recognition for operational excellence
From broil cooks who became general managers to Daniel’s recognition with the AMAC “CJ” Johnson Award [LINK] for mentorship and leadership.
Restaurants that reflect the neighborhoods they represent, not cookie-cutter concepts.
A leadership team made up of people who’ve worked the floor, run the kitchens, and know what great hospitality takes.
To be the most sought after hospitality company!
