Invest in Martindale Grill & River Club

Help Us Build Something Special in Martindale

Martindale Grill & River Club is coming to 420 Main Street in Martindale, Texas.

Our goal is simple: build a restaurant, grill house, and gathering place that feels true to this town — rooted in live fire cooking, Texas hospitality, great drinks, good music, and a deep respect for the Martindale community.

We are currently raising $200,000 to help open the doors the right way.

This raise is not about bringing in outside control. It is about giving locals, supporters, friends, and believers in the project a chance to help launch Martindale’s next great gathering place.

What We Are Raising

We are seeking to raise up to $300,000 from a small group of supporters.

These funds will help support opening costs, including:

• Restaurant buildout and improvements

• Kitchen and live fire equipment

• Initial staffing and training

• Opening inventory

• Furniture, fixtures, signage, and outdoor guest experience

• Working capital for the first stage of operations

Our goal is to open strong, operate with discipline, and create a place that becomes a long-term part of the Martindale community.

The Simple Version

You invest in the business.

Your investment earns a return until you are paid back your original investment, plus an additional 25%.

After that repayment is complete, you keep an honorary ownership stake as a founding supporter of Martindale Grill & River Club.

This is designed for people who want to support the project and share in the upside, without becoming involved in day-to-day operations or management.

How the Structure Works

The current structure we are exploring is:

1. You invest a set amount into the business.

2. Your investment is tied to a percentage of the offering.

3. As the business generates available profit, investors are paid back.

4. Investors are paid until they receive their original investment back, plus 25%.

5. Once that return is completed, investors retain an honorary ownership stake or founding supporter share.

6. Investors do not receive voting rights or management control.

7. The operating team remains responsible for all restaurant decisions.

This structure is meant to be simple, transparent, and aligned with the long-term success of the restaurant.

Final terms will be provided in writing before any investment is accepted.

Managed by Gold Epicure Hospitality

Martindale Grill & River Club will be managed by Gold Epicure Hospitality, a Texas-based hospitality and live fire culinary company that has been in business for nearly 10 years.

Gold Epicure has built its reputation through high-end catering, private dining, live fire experiences, brand collaborations, weddings, pop-ups, commercial food production, and large-scale hospitality events across Texas and beyond.

This matters because opening a restaurant is not just about having a good idea.

It takes systems.
It takes staffing.
It takes food cost control.
It takes service standards.
It takes marketing.
It takes financial discipline.
It takes a team that already knows how to execute under pressure.

Gold Epicure brings that experience into this project.

Why We Believe This Team Can Win

Gold Epicure has spent the last decade building a real hospitality business from the ground up.

Our work has been trusted by guests, private clients, event planners, production teams, and national brands. Over the years, our food, events, and live fire cooking have been connected to names such as Food Network, Southern Living, Made In, Crowd Cow, and Lone Star, along with a growing organic audience across Texas and beyond.

Founder Mike Angelo Torres has become known for premium live fire cooking, Texas hospitality, and creating food experiences that feel both elevated and deeply authentic.

That combination is what we are bringing to Martindale Grill & River Club.

We are not coming into this as first-time operators hoping a restaurant works. We are bringing years of experience in food, service, events, storytelling, guest experience, and brand building into one permanent home.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

Martindale Grill & River Club is being built around a few strong advantages:

• A real location in the heart of Martindale

• A town with growing attention and river traffic

• A hospitality team with nearly 10 years of operating experience

• A built-in audience through Gold Epicure’s existing following and client base

• A food identity centered on live fire cooking, grilled meats, seasonal specials, cold drinks, and Texas comfort

• A business model designed to serve locals, travelers, river guests, private events, and special programming

We believe the strongest restaurants are not just places to eat. They become part of people’s routines, celebrations, weekends, and memories.

That is the goal here.

Our Vision

Martindale Grill & River Club will be more than a restaurant.

It will be a place for:

• Live fire cooking

• Steaks, burgers, seafood, and seasonal specials

• Cold drinks

• River days

• Locals at the bar

• Families at the table

• Travelers passing through

• Music, events, and community gatherings

• A feeling that is rugged, warm, honest, and unmistakably Central Texas

We are building a restaurant that feels like it belongs here — casual enough for a river day, special enough for a night out, and strong enough to become part of the rhythm of Martindale.

Transparency

Investors will not be involved in day-to-day operations, but we believe in transparency.

Our investors will receive regular updates on the business, including financial performance, progress toward repayment, and key milestones.

We want our supporters to know how the business is doing, where the money is going, and how the project is growing.

What This Is — And What It Is Not

This is a chance to help fund the opening of a real restaurant in a real building, operated by a team with deep experience in food, hospitality, live fire cooking, catering, events, and brand development.

This is not a passive “guaranteed return” product.

This is not a partnership where investors vote on the menu, staffing, design, pricing, operations, or business decisions.

This is not a promise that the restaurant will hit a specific revenue number.

This is a local investment opportunity in a hospitality business. Restaurants carry risk. We believe strongly in the project, the team, the location, and the demand — but every investor should understand that any investment in a small business involves risk.

Who This Is For

This opportunity may be a fit for people who:

• Believe in Martindale

• Want to support a local business

• Understand that restaurants involve risk

• Want potential upside without operating responsibility

• Trust the team to run the business

• Want to be part of the founding story

• Believe in Gold Epicure’s track record and hospitality vision

This is not a fit for someone who wants control over the restaurant or needs a guaranteed return.
