Brandon Buschart

Joining the Origin Hotel Kansas City team with over 25 years of experience, Buschart is responsible for the overarching guest experience, ensuring that Chef's vision is brought to life and aiding in the mentoring of hospitality workers at all on-site food and beverage concepts.

A true Kansas City native, Buschart originally wanted to pursue a career in finance at Kansas State University, however, when he started to bartend during his college years, he fell in love with the industry due to its unpredictable nature and ability to keep things fresh.

Further expanding his knowledge, he has obtained several beverage certifications becoming a certified Sommelier, Ciceron, and Master of Whiskey, and is currently working toward his Sake Samura certification.

His experience ranges from working in various front-of-house roles to truly understanding the local consumer and their needs in various management positions.
