KRG Collective
Built For The Future of Hospitality
The KRG Collective
KRG Collective is a modern coaching and consulting platform redefining how independent and emerging hospitality businesses are planned, opened, operated, stabilized, scaled, and invested in.
We are here to help the industry move away from the high-rates of failure plus guesswork and burnout – toward strategy clarity, systems, leadership, profitability, and human-centered hospitality.
“The future of hospitality belongs to businesses that are clear before they grow, systemized before they scale, human before they automate, and profitable before they chase attention.” – Doug Radkey
Led by thought leadership and anchored by the 15+ year equity of the KRG brand, the Collective brings together specialized verticals for bars, restaurants, hotels, nightlife, golf, and capital investment.
Not traditional consultants. Not generic coaches. Not an agency selling theory or tactics.

Since 2009, KRG Hospitality has supported pre-open bar, restaurant, and hotel concepts. Through a proprietary sequence of Roadmap -> Method -> Ignite or Legacy -> Icon -> Alumni, we have helped guide 300+ entrepreneurs from validation to opening with strategic playbooks, operating systems, financial logic, leadership support, and long-term stabilization through post-open coaching.
As a strategist, author, speaker, and the founder of KRG, Doug Radkey has had the privilege of working with hundreds of bar, restaurant, hotel, nightlife, and experience-driven founders to help them move from scattered ideas and reactive decisions to strategic, profitable, and scalable businesses. From a 60-minute Impact Call to a 12-month 1-on-1 coaching program, this is where hospitality leaders build with intention.
