Vertex Hospitality was founded in 2016. The Managing Partners of multiple restaurant brands saw the opportunity to build an infrastructure to support the needs of building a growing national restaurant franchise organization. Vertex has since become a powerhouse in the industry.
What sets Vertex apart is its dynamic team—a fusion of exceptional talent and seasoned entrepreneurs, all with a remarkable history of triumphs in the realm of restaurant openings and management. Each member of our team is a specialist in a distinct facet of foodservice operations, collectively forming an unbeatable force in the hospitality landscape.
Presently, our team proudly oversees and supports three distinctive restaurant brands: Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar (hookreel.com), KPOT Hot Pot & Korean BBQ (thekpot.com), and Kinya Ramen (kinya.us). The success story of Hook & Reel is nothing short of phenomenal, boasting a staggering 70+ locations nationwide. KPOT is on a rapid ascent, set to surpass 100 locations by the close of 2024. Meanwhile, Kinya Ramen, our latest culinary venture, has already unfurled its charm with 9 operational units and numerous more poised for imminent launch.
