The Blooming Bistro is one of Las Vegas’ newest venues to hit the dining scene. This restaurant is unique as it serves as a wellness and workforce training hub for disconnected and at-risk youth in Las Vegas.
Restaurant Hospitality Institute provides the hospitality training to employees of The Blooming Bistro.
“I’ve been in the hospitality industry for my entire life, but this project is near and dear to my heart,” said Mark Steele. “I am proud to have the opportunity to partner with my sister and continue our family legacy. By combining the missions of Restaurant Hospitality Institute and The Blooming Bistro we are using our hospitality expertise to provide a service that benefits youth and our community.“
The Blooming Bistro is the brainchild of Mark’s sister, Samantha Steele who believes that awareness, education, and the right support can transform lives. The program focuses on culinary and workforce training, substance use prevention, mental health education, suicide prevention, and whole-self wellness to empower and provide tools necessary to help the employee participants build a career path. Learning all aspects of restaurant service, they gain skills honed in a real world setting. Students who graduate from the program are battle-tested and ready to thrive in a hospitality setting.
