U.S. House of Representatives’ Members’ Dining Room

The U.S. House of Representatives is seeking information from qualified industry sources to inform future planning for the House Members' Dining Room (MDR) and potentially the Capitol Market. The MDR is a fine dining and hospitality venue for Members of Congress, and the House is looking for innovative operational concepts, service models, and approaches to enhance the facility's operations. The House is interested in understanding available capabilities, operational approaches, and lessons learned from comparable high-profile dining facilities. Respondents are encouraged to propose creative operational and business models that could enhance the facility's operations, while respecting the historical character and mission of the MDR. Some key aspects of the project include: • Innovative service and operational ideas for the unique congressional dining environment • Service ideas that conform to a secure, high-profile, or protocol-driven setting • Approaches that balance tradition, quality, agility, and fiscal responsibility • Options for hybrid operational scenarios that support sustainment during traffic peaks and lulls • Lessons learned from comparable secure, high-profile dining operations
