The holidays are around the corner and it’s a season that tends to lift the spirits of many, and speaking of lifting spirits, this new concept is raising vibrations by helping other restaurants in these challenging times.

Tucson-based restaurant company, Ares Collective Group, has partnered with Austin-based Table 22, a digital platform that offers a new way to order dishes and drinks through a subscription service.

Ares Collective Group — the first Arizona restaurant company to partner with the national hospitality program — has four concepts and five locations in Tucson and Scottsdale, including Prep & Pastry, Commoner & Co., August Rhodes Market, and Flora’s Market Run.

“We’re super excited to offer this new program to our patrons who can now conveniently subscribe to our custom-curated packages from home or work,” said Nathan Ares, principal of Ares Collective Group.

Here’s how it works:

Beginning Thursday, November 19, the participating restaurants will be offering select foods and wines to Table 22 members on a monthly basis for local pick-up.

“We’re proud to be the first restaurant group in Arizona to be a pioneering partner with Table 22,” said Ares. “In this uncertain age, we aim to offer at least a small degree of certainty through this exciting program, where our patrons will be able to rely regularly on our fresh foods and fine wines knowing that these will be available to them on a pre-ordered and recurring basis.”
