Our Story

Five lakes, four seas.

FOUR SEAS takes its name from the Chinese saying “five lakes and four seas” — people from every background and every corner of the world coming together to do something great. That belief shapes everything we do. Our values live in the heart people carry, not their background, ethnicity, or gender. Everyone is welcome at our table, and everyone is treated like family.

Our mission is simple: we bring the world to one table. From our first home in Seattle, we are building a hospitality group made to travel — across America, into South America, on to Europe — one that proves a restaurant can grow without losing its warmth. Because when you take care of your people, they take care of everyone else.

People First

The house works because the people do.

01

We hire for heart, not background.

What matters is the heart a person carries.

02

Every restaurant is its own house.

Titles are earned inside it. Respect is the one line that never moves.

03

Fairness lives in the system.

Standards are written down and applied the same to everyone.

04

Mistakes aren’t scary. Fear of mistakes is.

We protect our people in slow seasons, and back them when they try.

We grow our people first. See what growing with FOUR SEAS looks like.

Careers

Grow with the house.

FOUR SEAS is built by people who were given a real chance — and took it. If you want work where effort is seen, you’ll feel at home here.

We would rather describe how we try to run our houses than make promises a webpage can’t keep. We hire for heart and teach the rest. We give people room to grow into more than the job they applied for. We try to run on clear standards rather than moods — and we would rather lose a busy night than lose the respect between the people in the room.

Guest or staff, first job or twentieth — everyone sits at the same table here. The rest is easier to show than to say.

Start at a station. Run a service. Open the next house.
