Owner Chuck Rose started his hospitality career in Regina and was looking for another investment when he found the Hose and Hound. “I had no intention of staying in the restaurant business when I was first hired as a part-time waiter, but I found I had a real talent for it. I loved serving people and I loved building the team that creates the service,” Chuck recalls.
In an industry known for high staff turnover, Chuck takes the time to get to know his employees. “If you ask your staff to care about your customers, you have to care about your staff,” he says. As a result, Hose & Hound customers find the service reminiscent of a certain television show. “If you come more than three times and the servers don’t know your name, there is something wrong,” Chuck says.
