OMG Hospitality Group was founded in 2008 by CEO Eric Leitstein on the key building blocks of innovation, initiative, leadership, and devotion to the craft. Since that time the company has greatly expanded, now operating 5 restaurants and a Food Truck in San Diego.
Leitstein’s affinity for the restaurant industry began as a teenager and carried on through his adult career, as he moved from dishwasher to server to bartender and then general manager. He carried this first-hand knowledge and passion forward into the entrepreneurial creation of OMG Hospitality Group.
Uniquely strategic locations, a passion for excellent customer service, and dynamic menus complete with signature cocktails, local flavors and brilliant brews drive thousands of customers to return to every OMG location over and over. Each location prides itself on consistently exceeding customer expectations and creating a sense of family and ownership with staff and patrons alike.
A strong focus on the identification, acquisition and encouragement of expressive and unique personalities is powerfully evident in the company culture--a culture with a positive and inspirational work environment that encourages out-of- the-box thinkers and thrives on community and opportunity. OMG takes great pride in each and every one of their 500+ employees, seeking to stand out in the industry with genuine care for every staff member and a clear path for employee progression and career development.
OMG Hospitality Group manages operations for Union Kitchen & Tap Encinitas, Union Kitchen & Tap Gaslamp, Pacific Beach AleHouse, Backyard Kitchen & Tap, Waterbar and The Union Food Truck.
