About Sculpture Hospitality

Sculpture Hospitality was started by seasoned experts who wished to transform the hospitality industry from the inside out. Through the "Art of Sculpture," the brand fashioned itself as a one-stop-shop for the inventory management needs of customers running bars and restaurants. 

Started in 1987, Sculpture Hospitality moved to fill a gap in the inventory management market. As a game-changer for restaurants and bars, the brand helped clients using their innovative inventory management solutions to drive growth. 

Over the years, Sculpture Hospitality has shown that running a restaurant or bar is both an art and science. 

Sculpture Hospitality began franchising in 1990. It now has over 200 U.S. franchises, as well as a presence in more than 30 other countries.
