Guidance For Building A Stronger Hospitality Team

KinOra is built on decades of real-world hospitality experience

KinOra is a collective of three hospitality companies: HMG+ (staffing), Acquire Hospitality (talent recruitment), and the Academy for Hospitality Arts (training). The guides below draw on how each brand solves a different stage of building a hospitality team, from an immediate staffing need to long-term service consistency.

KinOra is grounded in more than three decades of real-world hospitality experience. Its foundation was shaped by Michael J. DiPeri and Karen DiPeri through hands-on leadership across service, operations, staffing, recruitment, and training. That experience continues to guide how each brand operates today, bringing practical understanding, high standards, and a clear view of what it takes to deliver hospitality well.
