Establishment

A full-service student-run restaurant in Cornell University's Hotel School. We invite you to join us in this truly unique experience!

Our restaurant is the culmination of a multi-year process by the students in HADM 3350: Restaurant Management. This capstone course allows our upperclassmen to incorporate every aspect of their Cornell University's Nolan School of Hotel Administration curriculum to develop a restaurant concept and manage its ex*****on.

The Establishment is officially closed for the semester! Twenty-seven nights of management teams, full dining rooms, a few curveballs, a couple of spilled drinks, and a lot of growth over the semester.

Thank you all our course assistants for helping make Establishment possible! And a BIG thank you to Brittney Meade for keeping all of the faculty, staff, course assistants, and students on track.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back into our dining room in the Fall!

A packed dining room, last-minute pivots, plates flying out, and students running the show 🍽️

Restaurant Management, also known as Establishment, is where a concept turns into a real service. Students develop the menu, lead the team, manage the flow of the dining room, and adjust in real time when things change.

It’s busy, a little unpredictable, and always worth it.
