Looking for a hotel group that hires third-party hospitality groups to oversee all restaurant operations in a given geographical region.
Hello! Thank you for your request to find hotel groups that hire third-party hospitality groups to oversee all restaurant operations in a given geographical region. I understand that the initial Wonder response didn't fully answer your question because you were looking for a list of third party restaurant operators or hospitality groups that lease and manage hotel food & beverage on a regional level. I further understand that the hotels involved in outsourcing their food & beverage operations can be chain or boutique hotels, but they need to have several properties in any given region. The short answer is I was able to identify 10 third party restaurant operators or hospitality groups that lease and manage hotel food & beverage in various regions of the United States. I have listed these companies, along with their website, region, and hotels under management on a spreadsheet for easier comparison. Below is a deep dive of my findings.
Methodology
To begin my research, I thoroughly read the first response you received from Wonder to better understand what you are and aren't looking for. Then, I performed several targeted Google searches to locate companies that I believe meet your requirements. After an exhaustive search, I was able to identify 10 companies that provide the services you describe in your request.
Once I found the 10 companies I would be including on the spreadsheet, I used the company websites to determine the general region in which each operates and found a list of hotels that are making use of their services. I provided this information on the spreadsheet as well.
Limitations
When reading through your initial request and the additional notes you provided for clarification, I could not quite determine if you wanted a list of hotels that are outsourcing their food & beverage operations or if you want a list of companies that are providing hotels with outsourced food & beverage services. Likewise, I was not sure if you wanted hotels that are isolated in a specific region or if the food & beverage management companies should be operating in a specific region, but the hotels could be operating nationwide. For this reason, I have listed some companies that work with national chains, but only in specific regions and some companies that work with local hotels, also only in a specific region. All third party hospitality groups or restaurant operators I included on the list are managing at least three properties in any given region.
Some food & beverage management companies on the spreadsheet operate in more than one region, but none of them operate extensively nationwide. To find a list of 10 companies, I had to include those companies that operate the majority of their hotels in a specific region, but have a limited number of hotels in other parts of the country as well.
Results
The 10 third party restaurant operators or hospitality groups I identified that lease and manage hotel food & beverage on a regional level in no particular order are:
In case you were looking for the hotel groups that are outsourcing their food & beverage operations to third party providers, I have identified the following groups that appear to outsource these services in various regions:

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of hotels that are using the aforementioned third party hospitality groups. These are just the brands that appeared numerous times, so I assume they are heavily involved in outsourcing their food & beverage operations. For a complete list of hotels in specific regions that are using these companies, see column D of the spreadsheet.
Conclusion
After extensive research, I identified 10 third party restaurant operators or hospitality groups that lease and manage hotel food & beverage on a regional level. I have also identified the hotels that are outsourcing their food & beverage operations in those regions. All information has been recorded on the attached spreadsheet. I hope you find this information more helpful.
