We believe hospitality is built on care, clarity and consistency.

Anchor Hospitality Group was founded by a former hospitality operator with two decades of experience inside the industry.

That experience includes building and leading high-performing teams, scaling a critically recognised venue, navigating burnout, protecting standards, and understanding the real pressures hospitality owners carry every day.

We work on the ground with venues that care about quality.
We support owners who want longevity, not chaos.
We help teams build structure without losing heart.

This work is practical, human, and deeply rooted in real-world experience.

Founded by lived experience inside hospitality

Anchor Hospitality Group was founded by Alexis Guttridge, a former hospitality operator with over two decades of experience working inside high-pressure, high-standard environments.

Her experience includes building and leading large teams, scaling a critically recognised venue in the US, navigating burnout, and understanding firsthand the realities hospitality owners and managers carry every day.

Alexis now works on the ground with Australian venues that care about quality, people and longevity. Her approach is practical, thoughtful, and deeply shaped by real-world experience rather than theory.

She is supported by a trusted global network of hospitality professionals, allowing each project to remain grounded while drawing on wider expertise when needed.

Alexis is the kind of leader that every team hopes for: calm under pressure, deeply organized, and relentlessly thoughtful about the people behind the work. She has a rare ability to bring structure to messy situations without creating friction – clear priorities, clean, communication, and follow through you can actually count on.

Any organization would be lucky to have Alexis on their team. I’d work with her again in a heartbeat!

What Others Say

“

We consulted Alexis when an opportunity arose to purchase a commercial space for our catering business. She asked the hard questions, gave honest feedback, and provided deep industry insight.

That one call gave us clarity and confidence. Since then, our business has grown exponentially, thanks in large part to her guidance.

Alexis is one of the most effective hospitality leaders I have encountered in over 30 years in this industry. She combines operational intelligence with emotional intelligence in a way that elevates teams, culture, and guest experience.

People trust her. Teams follow her. Standards rise around her.

Any hospitality business working with Alexis will feel the impact quickly.
