Since 2009, we have helped founders, operators, developers, and investors build bars, restaurants, and hotels with more clarity, structure, and control.
Our work exists between vision and execution, where the most expensive decisions are made.
We validate the opportunity, structure the business, build the playbooks, guide the opening sequence, and support the performance systems required to stabilize and scale.
Because in hospitality, the business usually starts succeeding, or failing, before the doors ever open.
Meet The Founders
Over the years we seen far too many hospitality businesses being built in the wrong order, ultimately leading to shattered dreams and financial hardship.
So naturally, we created a system to reduce the failure rate and protect the people, capital, and vision behind each project.
KRG was co-founded in 2009 by Doug and Jennifer Radkey with a clear belief: hospitality founders and entrepreneurs deserved a better way to move from vision to execution to success.
Not with another generic or templated business plan. Not with another opinion or theory. Not with another disconnected consultant telling just one piece of the story.
KRG was built to connect the entire journey: validation, feasibility, concept development, financial discipline, operating playbooks, leadership coaching, project coordination, opening readiness, stabilization, and scalable growth.
That is why our work sits between strategy and execution. It is where most hospitality projects either gain control or lose it. And it’s why we provide a hybrid approach of both coaching and consulting through our proven sequence.
The KRG Difference
A traditional consultant may give advice. KRG builds the sequence.
From idea to validation. From validation to playbooks. From playbooks to opening readiness. From opening to stabilization. From stabilization to scalable growth.
We do not look at hospitality as a single project. We look at it as a system of decisions that must happen in the right order. And it all starts with the KRG Roadmap.
KRG is built for founders opening their first serious bar, restaurant, hotel, or hospitality concept.
Operators preparing to stabilize, reposition, or scale.
Investors and developers who need stronger validation before committing more capital.
Emerging groups with one to 15 locations that need systems, strategy, and leadership structure.
Hospitality teams that want clarity before leases, budgets, hiring, build-outs, openings, or expansions become expensive.
Global Reach
Built With the Right People Around the Table.
Hospitality projects can also fail when the right professionals are brought in at the wrong time, without the right strategy guiding the decisions.
KRG connects the strategic foundation with a trusted global network of brokers, designers, contractors, lawyers, accountants, technology partners, additional consultants, and equipment suppliers, so each project can access the right support at the right stage.

We know KRG is not the right fit for every hospitality project.
We work best however, with serious founders, operators, investors, and developers who are prepared to validate the concept, protect the budget, and build the business in the right order.
