Project Overview

The Railz Hospitality Power Lunch is a curated, recurring networking event designed to connect Houston’s event planners, hospitality leaders, venue operators, and ecosystem partners in a structured, high-efficiency format.

About Us

With over 18 years of experience in the hospitality industry, I am a seasoned veteran with a proven track record of success. Throughout my career, I have worked with nine corporate restaurant establishments, specializing in private events and operational development. Notably, I played a key role in opening five of these establishments, contributing to their operational standards and significantly impacting their revenue, with over 50% coming from alcohol sales.

In addition to my extensive experience in the hospitality sector, I have also made significant contributions to the finance industry media landscape. During my tenure with a finance industry media company called Security Token Market, I played a crucial role in brand and sales funnel development, which contributed to their successful Series A fundraising round. Moreover, I organized an event that directly resulted in multiple investments and client acquisitions for my firm.

My expertise in client acquisition and strategy development has led to remarkable results. Through the implementation of targeted marketing strategies, I have helped generate millions in revenue for consulting client services, demonstrating my ability to drive tangible business outcomes.

About Railz Hospitality

Railz Hospitality was built from real-world hospitality operations, not theory.

Founded by John Pittman, known in the industry as Bartender2CEO, Railz Hospitality brings over 18 years of hands-on experience in restaurant, bar, and event-driven environments. John has helped open multiple corporate concepts, led high-volume alcohol-forward programs, and built media platforms that spotlight hospitality professionals across Texas and beyond.

Through SpeedRailz and Railz Hospitality, we have curated and executed a wide range of event formats, including:

  • Industry competitions and bartender showcases
  • Hospitality networking events
  • Real estate and finance mixers
  • Business conferences and open houses
  • Game nights and themed activations
  • Speed dating and community social events

We do not rely on one event format. We understand how to program a space based on its audience, positioning, and revenue goals.

Beyond hosting events ourselves, we have worked alongside and coached event planners within our network to help them launch and scale their own activations.


This gives us a unique advantage:

We understand both sides of the booking equation.

We know how event planners think.

We know how operators think.

And we know how to bridge the two.


Railz Hospitality combines:

  • Event curation expertise
  • Outbound planner relationship building
  • Professional media production
  • Strategic content distribution
  • Paid advertising campaign management

Our approach is built on structured systems, not one-off moments..

We build visibility that strengthens recruitment and authority.

Railz Hospitality operates as a hospitality growth platform designed to connect venues, operators, and community through repeatable infrastructure.
