Christin Marvin is a distinguished restaurant coach, author, speaker, and host of The Restaurant Leadership Podcast who specializes in helping independent multi-unit restaurant owners build businesses that run without them.
With over twenty years of hands-on experience in both fine dining and high-volume growth concepts, Christin has established herself as the go-to authority for restaurant leaders ready to move from chaos to confidence. She’s the founder of Columbine Hospitality and creator of the Independent Restaurant Framework (IRF) (a proven system that transforms overwhelmed owner-operators into confident CEOs).
Christin’s approach is built on supportive tough love and real-world experience. Having navigated her own journey from line cook at 15 to managing partner by 30, she understands the unique challenges facing restaurant leaders today. Her vulnerability about struggling with burnout and using alcohol to cope has made her a trusted voice for leaders who need someone who truly gets it.
Through personalized one-on-one coaching, elite group programs, and leadership workshops, Christin and her team of expert coaches help restaurant groups build unified leadership teams, create culture-driven operations, and implement systems that actually work. Their clients don’t just survive expansion (they thrive through it).
When you work with Columbine Hospitality, you’re not just getting coaching (you’re getting a transformative partnership with people who’ve been where you are and know exactly how to help you scale with intention, not just ambition).
