About Jody Buchan

Currently, I have over 18 years experience in the hospitality industry. Beginning in bars and restaurants, to private clubs and corporate events. Over the years, working with different operators and venues, 2017 saw the culmination of those experiences when myself and my business partner opened the doors to Kin. My background is based in Chemical Engineering and, as such, I have a very clinical/detailed approach when it comes to the creation of flavours and cocktails. My service ethic, on the other hand, is a more organic approach to meeting my guest's needs. Their experience is paramount and the drink served should be such as to compliment or contrast their day accordingly. My focus is always on the guest's experience, from the standard of service they receive to their appreciation of the brands they are interested in.
