An Industry Built on 5,000 Years of Hospitality Principles

Hospitality is one of the world’s oldest and most enduring industries, with origins dating back over 5,000 years. From ancient Greek and Roman cities to Middle Eastern trade routes and cultures across the world, hospitality emerged as a fundamental human practice — providing travellers, traders, and communities with food, shelter, safety, and welcome.

While the industry itself has evolved, expanded, and modernised, the key principles of hospitality have varied very little throughout its entire history. The commitment to service, care, trust, and human connection has remained constant across civilizations, cultures, and time. Today, the global hospitality, culinary, and catering industries collectively employ around 10% of the world’s workforce, making hospitality one of the largest and most vital industries worldwide.

Our Concept

HospitalityChain, was created to feature and promote the world’s finest real foods and beverages that are not over-processed or artificially modified. The platform features authentic artisanal producers who focus on quality ingredients, traditional methods, and natural nutritional value. These foods and beverages are rich in essential vitamins and minerals, crafted to nourish the body, support wellbeing, and encourage longevity through balanced, wholesome consumption. HospitalityChain stands for a return to real food — reducing dependence on highly processed products loaded with excessive sugar, salt, and artificial additives. By highlighting responsible producers and mindful culinary practices, the concept supports healthier lifestyles while celebrating purity, provenance, and sustainable food culture across global markets.

The Origin of HospitalityChain

HospitalityChain was founded by Ian Sutherland and his wife Katherine Sutherland, inspired by a shared vision to create a global-first, dedicated online hub and unified industry voice for hospitality. Recognising that the vast hospitality, culinary, and catering sectors lacked a single destination to connect, discover, and collaborate, HospitalityChain was created as a global digital marketplace — bringing together chefs, suppliers, producers, service providers, educators, organisations, and non for profit industry charities in one central platform. HospitalityChain reflects the industry’s original purpose: connection, trust, and shared experience — reimagined for a global, digital world.

From leading food and beverage brands to professional foodservice equipment, HospitalityChain makes sourcing simple. Search, select, buy direct, and save — all in one global market place.
