Sambuca Restaurants is owned by its parent company REM Global, which functions as operations consultant for the food and labor ends of the business, as well as marketing strategy and web development. The firm currently owns five Sambuca Restaurants, upscale dining establishments offering 4-star cuisine. The restaurant locations also offer live music seven nights a week. The atmosphere emulates the supper clubs of the Frank Sinatra age, but with a modern twist.
The community involvement philosophy of Sambuca Restaurants is tied to its family roots. When the company began in Dallas by Kim and Holly Forsythe, brother and sister, it was their goal to become more involved in the surrounding neighborhoods in order to boost their clientele and raise awareness of their business in the community. The firm accomplished this by partnering with several different charities over the years. As the brand and marketing efforts have become more organized, the company has targeted organizations that maximize the exposure and impact of the organization’s give-back efforts.
