As one of VRG’s core values, integrity is one of the most important ideals we hold as an organization. While it may seem apparent to practice, integrity is a driving factor in everything we do. Being truthful, sincere, and upfront with everyone we interact with is not only imperative for our Team Members when interacting with Guests, but also when interacting with one another. Today, we’d like to share more about what integrity means to us, and how we foster it within our organization.

Many have become accustom to a lower standard of integrity in their interactions. While we hear messages of care and concern coming from businesses, the actions many companies take toward their customer service display less care/concern than th...

In previous posts, we’ve discussed the importance of our Core Values. Today, we’ll be unpacking each value and sharing what they mean to us, as well as how we implement them in our business model. As with our mission statement, while the core values are clear on their own, giving a bit more clarity on how we use them in our day to day practices will provide an even better understanding of what they mean to us at VRG.

At Villa Restaurant Group, we believe our core values to be the foundation of our organization; we strive to do everything with Integrity, Family Hospitality, Passion, Innovation, and Success in mind. We believe these values to be organizing principles that provide us with vision and guidance for VRG to continuall...
