beyond consulting. we build hospitality brands.
In addition to advising hospitality and restaurant organizations nationwide, CLC Insight actively owns and operates Misfit Kitchens - our growing collection of restaurant and catering concepts built around distinct brands, bold food and scalable operations.
MISFIT Kitchens. different by design.
Misfit Kitchens is the home of CLC Insight’s growing collection of restaurant and catering concepts — each built with its own identity, flavor, and point of view.
From craveable delivery brands and protein-forward meals to modern Asian street food and full-service catering, no two concepts are meant to look, feel, or eat the same. That’s the point.
Different concepts. Distinct personalities. All built by operators who love great food and hospitality.
operators first. Advisors second.
Our restaurant concepts allow us to stay closely connected to the operational realities of today’s hospitality landscape — from delivery and digital ordering to labor, systems, guest experience, and scalable execution.
We believe the strongest hospitality advisors are active operators who understand the day-to-day challenges of building brands, leading teams, and delivering consistent guest experiences.
