The Success Stories
“As a new restauranteur, I found exactly what I was looking for in Doug Radkey and KRG Hospitality. His expertise in the industry far exceeded my expectations and has provided me with the resources to succeed and thrive. I am beyond grateful”
– The Pinery
“I’m so glad we’re working with KRG on this. I used to think success was based on luck-of-the-draw and some voodoo-magic. I didn’t understand the mechanics behind it and thought I never would. But these playbooks showed me how hard and how smart owners work to ensure their business is a success”
– Ryan Mascarenhas
“This was a situation where the match was a perfect fit. We had an idea and general scope for our properties and KRG Hospitality was able to narrow the scope and deliver a well polished study for each. We look forward to the continuous work with KRG as our properties further develop. Thank you so much to you and your team.”
– Julian, Keltic Developments

For start-ups, the strongest time to engage KRG is before writing your own business plan, signing a lease, finalizing design, committing to construction, or investing heavily in branding, equipment, and marketing.
KRG can also help when an operating business is facing margin pressure, inconsistent performance, leadership problems, owner dependence, expansion decisions, or a need to reposition.
Earlier involvement creates more options. Late involvement often means correcting decisions that have already consumed time and capital.
Most pre-opening clients start with the KRG Roadmap.
Over five business days, KRG assesses the opportunity, readiness, start-up sequence, preliminary budget, operating outlook, and recommended next steps. The Roadmap helps determine whether the concept should proceed and what must happen before more significant capital is committed.
There is no obligation to continue. When you move into an approved next phase, the Roadmap investment is credited toward that work.
KRG does not sell hype, shortcuts, theory, or generic hospitality advice.
Our work is based on real operating experience, strategic sequencing, commercial feasibility, financial discipline, and measurable execution. Clients work directly with senior strategists, consultants, and coaches rather than being passed to an inexperienced delivery team.
We combine consulting with coaching so clients receive both the plan and the accountability required to implement it.
The KRG Roadmap packages start at $997 USD while a one-hour Impact Call is available for $399 USD.
Method, Ignite, Legacy, Icon, and Alumni are scoped according to the project stage, complexity, timeline, location, and level of involvement required. These engagements can range from focused strategic work to 12-month coaching and full pre-opening project leadership.
A 15-minute consultation helps determine the most appropriate starting point before a proposal is developed.
