A S T R O N G P A R T N E R S H I P - D A V I N + J E S S

Our partnership stems from a shared passion for the ideals on which we have built our companies, and for the challenge of making these ideals marketable and accessible. We both want to change the world for the better and see an opportunity to do this by building a business that is efficient, scalable, and that will set the bar high for those that come after it. We currently own and operate two restaurants that are plant and seafood-centric. We work to minimize waste and respect the planet by practicing total utilization and waste minimizing techniques. We work with local farms and fishermen and understand that the most sustainable and tastiest products are those that are sourced locally and

  • seasonally. Davin has been offering vegan options on his menus since 2004 and he

believes strongly that moving in a plant-based direction makes sense.

A W E L L R O U N D E D T E A M

While we were not lacking in passion, drive and operational experience we have identified our need for a team member with a strong history in corporate operations and

  • scaling. Chris Logan has long been a mentor to both of us and brings with him decades
  • f such needed experience.

PLANT BASED CUISINE?

Setting our standards HIGH Davin is known for his vibrant flavors. Often referred to as one of the most creative chefs in San Diego, this “mad-scientist” is endlessly learning and raising the bar. Christopher has risen to the challenge by taking decades of experience and elevating his methods to achieve “meatless-ness.” The Plot will be their most epic adventure yet. While healthy dining

  • ptions are becoming more widely available many are still missing the

mark on taste. These Chefs offer a whole food, plant-based menu that is beyond reproach while taking taste to the next level.

“Root to Shoot” Reduce Disposables Careful ordering Compost

We are innovat ive and creat ive t o our core. We can diversify t ast e and increase profit by using t he whole plant . We will offer keg beer, wine & sake. Ordering t hese from local companies will reduce our carbon foot print . Not hing we buy will be dest ined for landfill. We will work wit h conscient ious vendors t hat provide eco- friendly product s. Most of our produce scraps will be used t o make sauces, kraut s, pickles and st ocks. Anyt hing left over will be compost ed.

Food waste is a costly practice. According to a report by NPR, one half pound of food for every restaurant guest served, on average, is discarded. As much as ten percent of food purchased by restaurants ends up in the landfill. The Plot restaurants will be built with a zero-waste ethos from the ground up. With some careful planning and a solution-based attitude we will create systems that result in a win-win-win.

“Oceanside is the new Brooklyn of San Diego”

  • Jason Mraz

“The North County city has gone from an all-but annexed coastal town by Camp Pendelton to a thriving bed of culinary and artistic success.”

  • Troy Johnson

There has been much chatter about the evolution of Oceanside as a culinary community. Once known for its seedier side, the city is now recognized as a burgeoning travel and dining destination. Downtown there seems to be a race to the top, with development progressing at a rapid pace. Further south on Pacific Coast highway is a neighborhood known as “South O,” where evolution is being guided by local entrepreneurs. South O is home to Jessica and Davin’s first two restaurants and is where the flagship Plot will be born.

LEADING THE WAY WITH “WHY”

Growing a Plot

When Jess & Davin founded their first restaurant they focused on a lot of things, but getting rich wasn’t one of them. Supporting local farmers, fishermen, and NGO’s was a top priority. This commitment has led to a fulfilling yet challenging six years of

  • peration.

Enter plants. Without costly proteins, restaurant margins start to look pretty pleasing. It turns out we can run a profitable business while still upholding our über-high sourcing standards. With a plant based menu and zero-waste menu preparations we can operate in a way that benefits our shareholders, our population, and our planet. We building this restaurant because we want to change the world for the better. We know that the most impactful way to do this is GROW.
