About the company

Rooted Hospitality Group

View

Rooted Hospitality Group owns and operates a portfolio of dining concepts mostly on Long Island, NY, with additional locations in Louisiana. It buys and develops restaurant properties, often reviving underperforming sites, and runs multiple brands—RUMBA, Cowfish, flora, Fauna—and quick-service AVO TACO, across full-service and casual formats, plus offers hospitality consulting. The brands are built around chef-driven menus and island-inspired themes, delivered through owned venues with a strong focus on service quality under a culture called “Hospitality DNA.” The company aims to expand its regional footprint, extend the RUMBA concept outside New York (including Louisiana), and help other businesses through consulting while maintaining brand coherence and high service standards.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • RHG opened RUMBA Metairie on May 16, 2025, extending RUMBA beyond New York.
  • RHG posted 37 open jobs on September 10, 2026, including Metairie and Charlotte.
  • RHG’s updated September 14, 2026 site shows active marketing, events, and gift-card demand.

What critics are saying

  • RHG still depends on Long Island; one regional downturn can hit most revenue quickly.
  • Metairie expansion and Charlotte hiring stretch management attention before 2026 proves the model.
  • A bad lease, labor dispute, or failed Louisiana ramp can choke cash flow and growth.

What makes Rooted Hospitality Group unique

  • David and Rachel Hersh built RHG from 2009 into eight restaurants by 2025.
  • RHG turns underperforming properties into destination venues, exemplified by Cowfish’s 2012 launch.
  • RUMBA, flora, Fauna, and AVO TACO span island, fine-dining, steakhouse, and fast-casual formats.
