Ashton Kolbaba
I’m a restaurant general manager focused on building cultures that create experiences worth sharing.
Currently serving as a General Manager in Banff, I’ve led venues in competitive tourism markets by aligning leadership, team standards, and guest experience.
I believe revenue is a byproduct.
When leadership is clear, culture is strong, and the experience is intentional, guests talk. Reviews follow. Revenue follows.
My work sits at the intersection of:
• Leadership
• Culture
• Experience design
• Review driven growth
I’m currently writing Create an Experience Worth Sharing, a book exploring the emotional and operational realities of modern hospitality leadership.
If you're building something meaningful in hospitality, we likely have common ground.
Worth Sharing
These are notes from the floor.
Reflections on leadership, standards, ambition, and the emotions of running a restaurant.
Some weeks tactical.
Some weeks philosophical.
Always written honestly.
If that resonates, you’re welcome to read along.
