Meet The Crew
PAIGE WUERTHELE
general manager
Three years ago, she was just taking tables - now she’s running the whole place as GM, like it’s nothing. Always in the action. You’ll find her bouncing between the floor and kitchen, doing whatever it takes to keep things running strong.
Gavin Onishi
head chef
The kitchen’s goofy teddy bear with zero filter and top-tier culinary skills. We wouldn’t survive a day without him.
NATURAL-LEE GARCIA
floor manager
Good vibes are basically her default setting, and she’s got a way with guests that makes everyone feel taken care of. And when it’s time to keep things in line, she does it with unmistakable charm.
JONALENE YOSHIMITO
floor manager
Our day-one girl and easily one of the most reliable people here. Somehow balances KPK and another full-time job without ever missing a beat.
KALSIE HOLT
bar manager
Started behind the bar at KPK and made manager in under a year. Always chatting with the team and somehow knows everything that’s going on. Plus detail-obsessed, so you’ll definitely know if you had a bad close.
MANDEE BACTAD
lead chef
Calm, cool, and collected in the kitchen, always getting the job done with steady focus and that unmistakable ONE HAMMAH energy.
NITA FOSTANES
lead chef
You hear her before you see her—big Filipino personality, loud, outgoing, and running a tight kitchen like a boss. Loyal to her people and always holding it down. Sister to Miriam, and impossible to miss.
MIRIAM FOSTANES
lead chef
Quiet, sweet, and a total neat freak. Works like a machine to keep the kitchen running flawlessly. Shes always one step ahead and looking out for her team.—Nita’s older sister and her perfect counterpart.
ERINN GONZALEZ
lead server
Pure sunshine. You can feel the whole vibe shift the second she steps on the floor. Suddenly, everyone’s in a better mood, tables feel like old friends, and just a regular day turns into an epic one!
JOANNA BEALL
owner
The creative force behind the look and feel of it all. From the decor to the overall vibe, Joanna brought the space to life with her creative eye and natural sense of style. You can feel her touch in every detail.
CORY BEALL
owner
Sharp, savvy, and always thinking big picture, but just as happy kicking back with a good beer and a slice of pizza. Keeps everything moving forward while staying grounded in the simple things.
DAN METSCH
owner
The guy you go to when things get real. Laid back, steady, and backed by tons of experience. Dan’s the one who steps in, figures it out, and gets it done without the fuss.
