We also build deep relationships with local restauranteurs and food suppliers to incorporate the surrounding community into each operation.

Corporate Support
OVG Hospitality’s senior leadership team provides support and expertise to hundreds of venues in sophisticated areas such as finance and accounting, human resources, legal and risk management, communications, and crisis management.
Reopening Consulting
“OVG SOLVES” (Safe Opening Logistics for Venues & Events) is a comprehensive service dedicated to supporting a venue’s ability to safely and successfully reopen in the wake of COVID-19.
With a focus on the health and safety of employees and guests, we have created the “OVG SOLVES” consulting plan as a blueprint of best practices to guide building staff as they prepare to reopen facilities.
This service includes data, information, and one-on-one learning opportunities for venue managers to effectively book events, market their facility, generate revenue through sponsorships, and institute proper safety and cleaning measures.
OVG Hospitality Advisory Council
The OVG Hospitality Advisory Council lead by food personalities trio, Shaquille O’Neal, Giada De Laurentiis and Trisha Yearwood, help to breathe new life into the concessions industry by reshaping menus, culture and guest experience at sports and live events venues.
The three culinarians work with our hospitality team to help infuse new thinking, new ambition, and new social consciousness into a concessions industry that rarely meets the spectacle or passion of the shows the industry supports. The advisory council is tasked with creative thinking around menu design and expansion, the elevation of premium fare, local food sourcing, and opportunities for community impact via MBE/WBE programs, sustainability, and animal welfare.
What People are Saying
It has been encouraging to work with OVG Facilities during the transitional phase of our partnership. The accessibility and transparency have been a welcoming and dynamic shift in how management companies engage a new destination client.
Robert Morris University engaged OVG as manager of the UPMC Events Center nine months before construction of the multipurpose arena and conference center was completed, and OVG’s expertise was invaluable in helping the university outfit the building Facilities to host concerts, sports, and other entertainment events.
