In just 10 years, Austin Tochner has grown from an intern at Clique Hospitality to the company’s president. He has participated in numerous venue openings and values the dynamic nature of the hospitality industry as he has learned to expect the unexpected.
Recently, Tochner was responsible for the simultaneous launch of four venues: Mijo Modern Mexican, Wax Rabbit, Bel-Aire Lounge and Bel-Aire Backyard. This feat—involving strategic vision for everything from menu curation to deadline management—is a testament to his dedication to creating exemplary experiences and upholding the Clique Hospitality brand.
Through the company’s philanthropy branch Clique Serves, Tochner creates opportunities for his team to do good in the community and foster a culture of compassion.
When he is not juggling his many work responsibilities, Tochner enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons, playing golf and cheering on the USC Trojans football team.
