Where Do the People Who Create Belonging Find Their Own Tribe?
Hospitality is about creating places where people feel at home—where tribes come together, communities thrive, and belonging is effortless. But while you work tirelessly to build these spaces for others, where do you go to find that same sense of support, understanding, and guidance for yourself?
As an independent hospitality business owner, you’ve built something great—a loyal customer base, a strong reputation, a business with heart. But too often, that success comes with a cost: long hours, constant firefighting, and the creeping fear that you’re running on empty.
Maybe you feel isolated, like no one truly understands the weight of responsibility you carry. You work harder and harder, but instead of progress, you just feel more exhausted. And deep down, the real fear isn’t just burnout—it’s running out of time, money, or energy before things finally get easier.
Success Shouldn’t Feel This Hard
The best way to grow your business without constantly working longer hours is to find a tribe that challenges, supports, and inspires you. The truth is, doing more of the same won’t move you forward—doing things differently will. And that starts with surrounding yourself with people who’ve been where you are and know how to break through.
Welcome to the Kith & Kin Inner Circle
This is your place to belong—a private community of independent hospitality business owners who understand the reality of running pubs, cafés, small hotels, and restaurants. No competition. No egos. Just real support, real strategies, and real conversations that make business easier and success more sustainable.
Inside the Inner Circle, you’ll gain:
✅ Clarity – A clear path forward, so you’re making smart, strategic moves instead of just reacting.
✅ Confidence – The knowledge and guidance to lead with certainty, not second-guessing.
✅ Enthusiasm – Reignite the passion that got you into hospitality in the first place.
✅ Freedom – A business that works for you, not just because of you.
The best hospitality businesses aren’t built alone. They thrive when the right people come together.

Kith & Kin Hospitality: A Community for Independent Hospitality Owners
Kith & Kin Hospitality is on a mission: to build the independent hospitality business community.
We’re here to stop the beige and bland takeover of the hospitality scene by the big chains. The soul of hospitality lives in independent businesses—the pubs, cafés, restaurants, street food vendors, and boutique hotels run by creative entrepreneurs who are truly passionate about serving their tribes and communities.
But too many independent operators feel like they’re fighting a lonely battle. They’re held back by:
🚧 Overwhelm – Working harder instead of finding smarter ways to grow.
🚧 Isolation – No real support from people who understand the unique challenges of independent hospitality.
🚧 Fear – The deep worry of burning out or running out of money before things get better.
Strength in Community, Success in Collaboration
When we come together, share experiences, and build a tribe on a mission, we all thrive. The independent hospitality scene isn’t just a business sector—it’s a movement.
✅ A movement that values creativity over conformity.
✅ A movement that champions authentic, personal hospitality over corporate standardisation.
✅ A movement where independent operators find their people, their support, and their strategy for success.
Belong here. Grow here. Succeed here.
Are you ready to be part of the future of independent hospitality?
“Kith & Kin is probably the most refreshingly honest forum out there at the mo.”
