Jonathan Gologorsky serves as Senior Vice President – Chief Financial Officer of the 12 award-winning restaurants forming the $40,000,000 Lark Creek^® Restaurant Group, a Bay Area-based company dedicated to outstanding farm-fresh American fare and quality fine dining service.

“I am honored to help direct the sustained growth of Lark Creek Restaurant Group as we continue to maintain our grueling standards of excellence,” says Jon. “Our company displays a unique understanding of how and when to spend. Each of our restaurants pays daily attention to buying the finest quality foods, to supplying elegant recipes in a refined atmosphere, to providing the highest standards of service, knowledge and responsiveness, and to the comfort of our public. Good value and profitability are not mutually exclusive.”

With 25 years of experience directing finance, business management, development and information systems, Jon’s extensive background, along with his passion for the culinary world, have laid the foundation for his senior position with Lark Creek Restaurant Group.

Gologorsky began his career with San Francisco-based accounting firm Benson & Neff. He soon shifted his focus to private industry and the world of food service, joining Castle & Cooke/Dole Foods as a senior internal auditor, then financial analyst in the company’s New Products/New Ventures division. After three years with Dole, Gologorsky was recruited by Food Dimensions, a San Francisco-based contract food service company where he served as Accounting Manager. He later joined Zim’s, the venerable San Francisco restaurant chain, as Controller and CFO, where he polished his business growth and financial management skills for a number of years. Jonathan left Zim’s for a short stint with LucasArts Entertainment Co., the computer games division of George Lucas’ organization. Next, Gologorsky returned to food service as Vice President of Finance for Caffino, a chain of drive-through espresso bars, which he saw grow to 30 stores during his tenure.

After working for Caffino for seven years, Gologorsky found himself ready for the rigors of fine dining establishments. He knew he had found his calling upon meeting Michael Dellar, the Co-founder of Lark Creek Restaurant Group. “The superior quality of the restaurants, the staff, and Michael’s personal polish

immediately attracted my interests. I found myself ready for the challenges of creating new restaurant concepts, along with the added rewards of striving to be the best. I look forward to continuing to contribute to the growth and success of the Group.”

Gologorsky received a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Agricultural and Managerial Economics from the University of California, Davis. He is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and is a member of both the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the California Society of Certified Public Accountants. Jonathan also serves as a director of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association. He was named “CFO of the Year” in the non-public category in 2008 by the Larkin Street Youth Services and San Francisco Business Times at the Bay Area CFO of the Year Awards. When he isn’t working, Jonathan enjoys traveling and spending time with his family.
