Founder & Lead Strategist

Lana Chikhladze

Born in Tbilisi, Georgia. 20+ years building restaurants, hotels, and nightlife across Georgia. MBA in Executive Management. The only person in the agency world who has built a supra dinner program, managed diplomatic event catering, and run a full-service marketing agency for Georgian cuisine.

Every client engagement at Tamada Group is led by Lana directly. There is no account manager between you and the strategist. No junior team member who will handle your Instagram while Lana is on another call. When you work with Tamada Group, you work with Lana — and Lana works with you the way a Georgian host treats a guest: with full attention, full commitment, and zero shortcuts.

Her background is unlike any other agency founder in this space. She spent two decades inside Georgian hospitality — not advising from the outside, but building from the inside. Restaurants launched from scratch. Hotels managed through opening. Government and diplomatic events executed at the highest level of protocol. More than $10 million in combined revenue generated across her client portfolio. An MBA that turned operational instinct into strategic precision. And the AI-powered tools to scale everything she knows.

The Full Team

Small By Design. Specialized By Necessity.

Tamada Group is intentionally small. Every specialist on this team was chosen because they extend Lana's core capabilities — not because they fill a headcount requirement. Analytics, video production, and design: the three capabilities that amplify Georgian hospitality expertise into measurable restaurant revenue. Nothing more. Nothing that does not serve your bottom line.

The Tamada Leads. Everyone Supports The Tamada.

In a Georgian feast, the tamada — the toastmaster — is the center of the table. Every voice matters, every glass is refilled, every guest is seen. But the tamada reads the room, sets the tone, and ensures that no moment is wasted. At Tamada Group, Lana is the tamada of every engagement. The specialists behind her ensure that every technical element is handled at the highest level, so that Lana's focus never leaves your restaurant and your revenue.

This is the structure that lets us do what no large agency can do: give every Georgian restaurant owner the full, undivided attention of the one person who actually understands both their food and their business. The team is the infrastructure. Lana is the relationship.

How We Work

Our Operating Principles.

◆

No Handoffs

The person you talk to on the strategy call is the person who builds your campaign, writes your content brief, and reviews your results. Lana leads every engagement from first conversation to monthly reporting. There is no handoff to a team member who was not in the room when we made the plan.

⚙

Georgian First

Every decision we make is filtered through one question: does this honor Georgian hospitality? The food, the culture, the guests — our work exists to amplify what makes Georgian dining extraordinary, not to flatten it into something generic that could belong to any cuisine.

✦

Results, Not Activity

We do not count posts, impressions, or deliverables as success. We count covers, revenue, event bookings, and average check. The question we ask at every client review is the same one you ask at the end of every service: did we make money tonight? If the answer is yes, we did our job.

Work Directly With The Founder.

At Tamada Group, you get Lana — the Georgian hospitality expert, the revenue strategist, and the marketing architect — on every engagement. No junior team member. No handoffs. Just the most qualified person in this industry to grow your Georgian restaurant. The first conversation is free.
