Kam Hospitality

What Kam Hospitality does

KAM Hospitality is a family-owned strategic brokerage and advisory firm serving the hospitality industry, founded by Ed Kamenitzer in 2003 in New York City. The firm operates as a multi-line services platform offering six core capabilities: parking brokerage (representing six NYC garages with 10,000+ spots), real estate brokerage, laundry services (three provider partnerships covering 3,000+ hotel rooms daily), labor and staffing outsourcing (70+ hotels), fire prevention and safety equipment, and food and beverage consulting anchored by marquee chef relationships with David Burke and Charlie Palmer.

The company is a pure services business with no proprietary technology platform; its value is delivered through curated vendor relationships, licensed brokerage activity, and consultative advising rather than software or automation. Revenue is generated through transaction commissions on real estate deals, referral and affiliate fees from parking, laundry, and staffing partners, professional services fees for F&B consulting, and hardware sales for fire safety equipment. Pricing is custom-negotiated under multi-year contracts with no publicly disclosed rates.

KAM's go-to-market is relationship-led and enterprise-focused, targeting hotels, hospitality organizations, and institutional facilities primarily in the NYC tri-state area with a small Florida extension in fire safety. The client base of 70+ properties includes major hotel brands such as Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton, and IHG, alongside groups like Real Hospitality Group and David Burke Hospitality Management. The firm is led by Ed Kamenitzer (CEO), Sam Kamenitzer (Director of the Board), and a fractional CFO, with a total headcount of approximately 13 employees.
