AJW | Frequently Asked Questions
What is AJW Presents?
AJW Presents is a creative hospitality group focused on building thoughtful, experience-driven spaces. We work across concept development, venue execution, and cultural programming — collaborating with operators, investors, and creatives to help shape what hospitality looks like next.
Where are you based?
We are a global hospitality group with strong roots in Los Angeles. While LA remains our core network, we create concepts that can be adapted for cities around the world and are currently expanding into Lisbon and Southeast Asia.
Can I pitch my concept to be featured on the platform?
Yes. If your concept meets our standards for quality, originality, and brand alignment, we’d love to hear from you. We also support early-stage concepts with development, visual storytelling, and investor decks.
What types of venues do you work with?
We work across the full spectrum of hospitality — including restaurants, cocktail bars, nightclubs, hotels, and multi-use event spaces. We also help develop curated hospitality districts in cities where aligned opportunities exist.
Can you help me develop my concept?
Yes. We offer tailored support for hospitality professionals looking to sharpen their concept, refine their brand identity, or build an investor-ready deck. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to evolve an existing idea, we can help.
How does AJW Presents support operators?
We offer end-to-end support — from staffing, hiring, and training to branding, launch execution, and integration into the local scene. Our team includes best-in-class creatives and operators who help bring venues to life and keep them thriving long after opening.
Who’s behind AJW Presents?
AJW Presents stands for All Journeys Welcome. The group was founded by Alex Wall, a hospitality professional with over two decades of experience opening and operating venues for leading groups like SBE and Tao Group. More details can be found on the Bio page.
Do you offer consulting or creative direction outside of Los Angeles?

Do you offer branding, design, or deck-building services?
Yes. We help hospitality teams develop clear, beautiful presentations that communicate their concept to investors and collaborators. This includes creative direction, AI-generated visual support, and tailored storytelling — available for a flat fee or hourly rate.
