The Independent Hospitality Coalition (IHC) represents independent restaurants, bars, hotels, and clubs throughout greater Los Angeles.
Created in April 2020, the IHC provides a unified voice for the hospitality industry focusing on local and state government initiatives. Beginning as a “coalition of coalitions,” the IHC banded together groups from all over the greater Los Angeles area and used their intimate knowledge of the industry to become an advocate for small business hospitality policy.
Restaurants, bars, hotels, and clubs who join our coalition create a community that is stronger than each independent shop. Subscribe and stay tuned for crucial news and updates.
Below is a glance at the people working behind the scenes to represent and empower the Los Angeles hospitality industry.
Our committees are focused on advocacy, communications, and member services. If you would like to take action and get involved, simply email the committee(s) you’re interested in and we will be in touch right away.
