OUR BUSINESS
At the Kaiser Family of Restaurants we know an exceptional meal begins with the
finest ingredients. That is why we only use prime steaks, the freshest seafood and
produce and fine wines. Our award-winning chefs prepare authentic recipes that
are guaranteed to bring you back time and again. We offer dining experiences for
all tastes and budgets.
Kaiser Restaurant Group employs 500 employees. This company has a solid track
record of quality performance, guest loyalty and steady growth starting in Palm Desert,
California in 1992. The group is developing other concepts/brands to other
Southern California & Southwest United States markets.
Our Management Kaiser Morcus—Founder: Patriarch Kaiser Morcus has lived the classic American
Dream since arriving as a young immigrant from Lebanon in 1956. He evolved
into a successful and respected hotelier and restaurateur in Denver and Vail, Colorado,
before retiring to the sleepy Coachella Valley in 1990. Quickly bored with golf
and longing for a decent restaurant meal, he opened the first Kaiser Grille in Palm
Desert in 1992. Throughout his career he has developed over $200 million of real
estate and restaurant space.
Kaiser Morcus is the founder and spirit of Kaiser Restaurant Group, a privately held
family restaurant company that has built, owned, and operated multiple restaurant
concepts — from casual through fine dining — in the Palm Springs desert resorts
and Carmel communities.
Lee Morcus—Principal: Kaiser’s son, Lee is a co-founding principal of the Kaiser
Restaurant Group. Since the company’s inception Lee has developed 7 successful,
award-winning restaurants.
Lee has been a community leader in the Coachella Valley for two decades. He has
served as Chairman and CEO of the Palm Springs Convention and Visitors Authority
for 10 years—which under his leadership has been the key organization in growing
for the desert economy. He holds Bachelors of Science, Business Administration
Degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from the University of Denver.
Eric Morcus—Director of Marketing: Another son, Eric, tiring of the rat race in
the corporate world as a District Sales Manager with Minolta Corporation, he
moved his family to the desert in 2005 to help operate the growing number of Kaiser
Restaurants. He earned top honors in this every year he held this position as
District Sales Manager.
He is Director of Group Services, Event Planning, Sales and Marketing for the company.
He has been seminal in providing top quality events for Fortune 500 companies
like, Time Warner, State Farm, Abbott Laboratories, Morgan Stanley, Merck
Pharmaceuticals, Dow chemical Co, Roche and dozens of others.
Sue Morcus—Director of Human Resources: Daughter Sue Morcus Fee was
recruited to the fold in 2005 as Human Resources director, and did a masterful job
of handling three thousand job applications when one of their latest projects, Jackalope
Ranch, was preparing to open. When Jackalope Ranch opened in 2009, the
number of people employed by the Kaiser Restaurant group jumped to over 400.

he Kaiser Grill offers an outdoor patio where diners can observe the passing parade of shoppers
and tourists, as well as a spacious interior dining room and bar. Serving lunch and dinner, the menu

hanks to a personal relationship between Kaiser Restaurant Group patriarch Kaiser Morcus and actor/director
Clint Eastwood, the company acquired the famous Carmel, CA restaurant in May of
2000. In August 2003 the company launched “the desert Hog” on the top floor of the then-new Old
Town La Quinta shopping village where it offers casual indoor and outdoor dining with clear views of the
nearby Santa Rosa Mountains.
Serving lunch and dinner seven days a week, the cuisine is California-style, featuring top quality meats, sea-
food, pasta, pizza, and salads. The carefully crafted wine list features some of California’s best wines and the
lively Saloon is a popular gathering spot with a special Happy Hour nightly

he first Chop House opened in Palm Springs across the street from Kaiser Grill in 2001 to address
the lack of a top quality steak house in the entire Coachella Valley. Serving all natural USDA Prime
Angus beef and grass fed beef, sustainable seafood, and seasonal fresh produce, it also has one of
the largest wine cellars in the Coachella Valley with some 3,500 bottles.
The success of the Palm Springs Chop House spawned another one in Palm Desert in 2003 with a slightly dif-
ferent menu driven by the slightly different clientele. Both restaurants continue to thrive.
