Opening a restaurant is no small feat, but for Travis Howard, it’s become an art. As co-owner of On Point Hospitality, he’s the numbers and logistics mind behind some of St. Louis’ hottest spots, including Lazy Tiger and Yellowbelly. This year alone, he’s helping launch two new concepts, Garden Variety Deli, which opened in June 2025, and Extra Wavy, set to debut later this year. Oh, and did we mention he’s also a dad of three? In this episode, Travis shares what it really takes to keep restaurants running, the unglamorous but essential side of the business, and how he manages to balance it all.
