Expand BioMark DiMartino has more than thirty years of experience in the restaurant industry. An accomplished chef and Restaurateur, his vision and passion have earned him numerous accolades such as Restaurateur of the Year for the State of Nevada in 2000 and the Governor’s Tourism Award in 2004 for the Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery. Mark was the first independent restaurateur to operate a non-union full service restaurant within a major hotel, resort, or casino, opening the door for both properties and operators to explore partnerships that have positively impacted the culinary scene in Las Vegas.
Offering a rare blend of creative and operational strengths, Mark has and continues to develop exciting new restaurant concepts and ideas. With expertise in design and layout, menu development and costing, operations and product procurement, his diversified experience has given him a well-rounded, detail oriented skill set that will undoubtedly serve to help RatHaus on its rise to success. Please note that although Mark will obviously be bringing his industry experience and expertise to bear on the rise of the RatHaus concept, Mark remains a minority member of the Tilted Kilt concept (TKFO), and Mark has no intention to develop the RatHaus concept into a restaurant similar to Tilted Kilt. Instead, Mark intends (as does RatHaus Tempe) to emphasize the German authenticity of the RatHaus concept as its selling point in the market place. Investors should not join RatHaus Tempe if they do so with the expectation that RatHaus would be a variation on the Tilted Kilt concept based upon Mark’s role in creating both. Mark is not on board to turn RatHaus into a clone to Tilted Kilt but instead be an entirely different, new, fresh and unprecedented concept inspired by great German public houses. RatHaus Tempe will be glad to answer any further questions investors may have about Mark’s relationship with TKFO.
Mark is also currently the President of Let’s Eat Incorporated and Hob Nob Hospitality, LLC. He has been President of Let’s Eat Incorporated since 2001 and Hob Nob Hospitality, LLC 2014. In addition, he attended both the University of Las Vegas and Clark County Community College for business and is FMP and Serve Safe Certified. He served on the Board of Directors of the Nevada Restaurant Association from 1991 – 2005. In 1999 he sat as Vice Chairman of the Board and in 2000 was elected Chairman.

Expand BioScott Kuehn, a graduate of Cal State Northridge with a degree in Communication Studies, is a veteran of the restaurant industry. He began his management career at The Malibu Sea Lion restaurant in 1989, where he was responsible for the ordering, inventory and storage of all liquor and bar supplies, scheduling of the staff and insuring the daily receipt deposits. From here he was transferred to the world famous Gladstone’s 4 Fish, the busiest restaurant in California at the time, where his composure and ability to work in an extremely high volume facility truly became evident. It was during his time here that he met the owners of the original Shark Club, who eventually lured him out to Las Vegas.
In Las Vegas, Scott served hundreds and thousands of customers on a nightly basis, over the course of two and a half years. As the General Manager of the Shark Club, Scott was accountable for the complete functioning of the club in its daily operations. The time Scott spent at the Shark Club, developing relationships with the staff and clientele, helped to establish his place in the Las Vegas hospitality industry.
Scott left the Shark Club in 1996 for the opportunity to join Planet Hollywood and the Official All Star Café in Las Vegas. Here, he learned and practiced all the intricacies of operating high profile venues on the Las Vegas Strip. Following this, he spent four years with Z’ Tejas Southwestern Grill where his appreciation for fresh ingredients, unique menu items and made-from-scratch cooking was greatly enhanced. This was followed by a short stint with the Roadrunner Saloon in Henderson where he learned all about the Las Vegas slot tavern and gaming industry.
Scott has worked with Mark DiMartino over the past 8 years on various restaurant projects. During this time, they have developed several restaurant concepts including Due Pizzeria and Grind Burger Bar. At the Tempe location, Scott will oversee the general operations of the staff, including training and general management.
