Dough Zone Restaurant Group

We were honored to partner with Visit Seattle to host their Q2 Member Networking Series at our Dough Zone Harbor Steps location recently. It was a pleasure bringing together Seattle’s hospitality partners and local businesses for an evening of connection. Guests enjoyed a family-style spread of our signature dishes while networking with fellow members and the Visit Seattle team. Thank you to everyone who joined us—we’re grateful to be part of such a vibrant and collaborative community and look forward to hosting more memorable experiences in the future.

Recently, our General Managers from across multiple states gathered in Dough Zone’s home State of Washington for our first Multi-State General Manager Meeting. It was a valuable opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and align on our continued growth as a team. Throughout the meeting, we focused on strengthening operations, sharing best practices, and building stronger collaboration across markets — all with the goal of delivering even better service and a consistently great experience for every guest. We’re proud of the dedication our teams bring as we continue building the future of Dough Zone.

From folding their very first dumpling to discovering the best part at the bottom of the bowl, students experienced the joy of dumplings through hands-on learning in our recent dumpling-making classes. Through our Bao Buddies School Program, kids learn that dumplings are more than just a meal — they represent tradition, culture, and the creativity of making something with their own two hands. We love seeing students connect with food, culture, and each other through this fun and memorable experience. We look forward to partnering with more schools to bring this program to more communities that have been supporting us. Learn more about the Bao Buddies School Program: https://lnkd.in/gRPM5UVc

💪Strong communities start with strong partnerships. Dough Zone’s Bao Buddies School Program is built on collaboration with schools, PTAs, and educators to create opportunities that support students and celebrate culture. Over the past week, we were honored to connect with students from 2 schools through hands-on dumpling-making, turning shared experiences into lasting memories. Students learned the history behind dumplings, crafted their own creations, and proudly enjoyed the results together. We’re thankful for the schools and families who partnered with us - and excited to continue giving back together. 👉Interested in bringing Bao Buddies to your school or community？ https://lnkd.in/gRPM5UVc

🍻Cheers to a Proud Partnership with Fremont Brewing This month, we launched Dough Zone Golden Ale in partnership with Fremont Brewing Company, one of the Pacific Northwest’s most respected craft brewers. This limited-edition brew was crafted exclusively for Dough Zone - smooth, crisp, and intentionally designed to pair with our signature dumplings and comfort-food favorites. Even the can design celebrates our most iconic dishes, bringing our culinary story into the world of craft beer for the first time. Cheers to local partnerships, creativity, innovation, and the shared spirit that makes the PNW food and beverage community so special. At Dough Zone, we’re dedicated to bringing those values to life through every vibrant experience for our beloved customers.🫶
