GoodChaos
Hospitality Group Inc.
Why "GoodChaos"?
Hospitality is beautifully unpredictable. Every day brings new guests, new conversations, spontaneous celebrations, busy kitchens, and unforgettable moments. To some, it may look like chaos. To us, it's where the magic happens.
The name GoodChaos represents the positive energy that comes from passionate people working together with purpose. It's the lively atmosphere of a full dining room, the rhythm of a busy kitchen, the sound of laughter, live music, and the teamwork behind every memorable guest experience.
We embrace the idea that great things aren't created in perfect conditions—they're created by people who thrive together through every challenge, every busy service, and every celebration. That is our GoodChaos: organized, passionate, creative, and driven by genuine hospitality.
At GoodChaos Hospitality Group Inc., we believe that the best moments often begin with a little good chaos—the laughter around a shared table, the excitement of a busy dining room, the rhythm of live music, and the unforgettable memories created over exceptional food and genuine hospitality.
Founded in British Columbia, GoodChaos Hospitality Group is a passionate hospitality company dedicated to creating distinctive restaurant concepts and memorable guest experiences. We don't simply open restaurants—we build destinations where people connect, celebrate, and create stories worth sharing.
Our growing family includes The Story Cafe – Eatery & Bar, an award-winning restaurant known for its warm hospitality, house-made cuisine, live entertainment, and welcoming atmosphere; The Sequel – Kitchen & Bar, where modern vintage elegance meets exceptional dining and live music; and WABI ( Manzo formal business), our newest concept inspired by Japanese culinary traditions and contemporary experiences.Growing Together
What began with a simple vision has grown into a family of more than 100 dedicated team members across our restaurant brands. Every chef, server, bartender, barista, manager, host, dishwasher, and support staff plays an essential role in creating the experiences our guests have come to love.
As we continue to grow, one thing remains unchanged—our commitment to putting people first. We invest in our team's development, encourage leadership from within, and foster a culture built on trust, respect, collaboration, and continuous learning. We celebrate each other's successes, support one another through challenges, and believe that when our people thrive, our guests receive the very best hospitality.
At GoodChaos Hospitality Group, our greatest achievement isn't simply opening new restaurants—it's building a team of passionate individuals who share our vision and proudly call GoodChaos their second home.
More Than a Team
We're Family
Hospitality starts with people. At GoodChaos, we believe that the way we treat each other is reflected in the way we serve our guests. Our restaurants are built by a team that genuinely enjoys working together, supporting one another, and celebrating life's milestones as one family.
Whether we're serving hundreds of guests on a busy weekend, performing live music, brainstorming new ideas, or gathering for our annual Christmas celebration, we share the same passion, respect, and commitment to each other's success. The friendships built within our company extend beyond the workplace, creating a positive culture where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and inspired.
When our team feels like family, our guests feel it too. It's the warmth in every greeting, the genuine smiles, the attention to detail, and the heartfelt hospitality that have become the signature of every GoodChaos brand.

Kingsley Ho
Founder & CEO
For Kingsley,
hospitality has never been just about food—it's about creating places where people feel they belong.
An entrepreneur with a background in information technology, Kingsley founded Kingtech Solution Inc. in 2003 before following his passion for hospitality and entertainment. His vision led to the creation of The Story Cafe – Eatery & Bar, a restaurant that has earned a loyal following through exceptional food, heartfelt service, and a unique blend of live music, coffee, and community. Building on that success, he expanded the group's portfolio with The Sequel – Kitchen & Bar and WABI, each offering its own distinctive dining experience while sharing the same commitment to excellence.
Kingsley believes that great restaurants are built by great people. Rather than simply managing businesses, he focuses on developing leaders, empowering his teams, and creating a workplace where everyone is encouraged to grow both professionally and personally. His leadership style is hands-on—working alongside his team, mentoring managers, listening to guests, and continually improving every aspect of the business.
One of Kingsley's guiding principles is simple: take care of your team, and they will take care of your guests. This philosophy has shaped a culture where colleagues become friends, friends become family, and hospitality comes naturally. Whether it's leading a packed service, celebrating milestones together, or singing live with guests, he believes authentic connections create unforgettable experiences.
Beyond business, Kingsley is passionate about bringing people together through food, music, and meaningful experiences. His vision for GoodChaos Hospitality Group is to build more than successful restaurants—it is to create destinations where guests make memories, employees build careers, and communities gather around genuine hospitality.
"Success isn't measured only by the restaurants we build, but by the people we inspire, the opportunities we create, and the memories we help others make."
