Catalyst exists to turn hospitality visionaries into high-performance operators.

We’re a boutique advisory firm built by people who’ve lived every shift—from the 5 a.m. produce delivery to the midnight close-out. That operator DNA keeps our advice grounded, our metrics honest, and our results immediate.

Our Story

Catalyst began when a small circle of restaurateurs kept asking the same question:

“Why does traditional consulting feel like homework instead of horsepower?”

Our founder answered by flipping the model. Instead of handing over dusty binders, we embedded on the floor, shoulder-to-shoulder with owners and GMs, architecting systems that stick. Word spread, growth followed, and Catalyst Hospitality Advisors was born.

Today, our team blends decades of on-the-line experience with sharp financial and brand acumen. We’ve guided concepts from first sketch to national press — always with an eye on margin, guest delight, and sustainable practice.

Independent hospitality is tough by design. The margin for error is razor-thin; guest expectations keep rising. Catalyst bridges the gap between passion and performance, so your concept can grow without losing its soul.
