We build brands people crave.
An Australian family hospitality group. We build, run and grow food and drink brands, and have done since our first café in 2012.
Powering these brands



One group. The whole day.
Some of these we started from scratch. Others we bought and grew. All of them are run by hospitality people.


Our first brand and still our biggest. Good coffee and an all-day menu, in cafés, drive-thrus and quick-service stores.

Açaí bowls, smoothie bowls, poke, smoothies and porridge, all made from scratch. Love and passion are always in season.

Go Dark
Delivery-only brands that run out of existing kitchens. We bring the brands and the orders. The kitchen does the cooking.

We build. We also buy and grow.
When we find a good chain, we bring it into the group, keep what works and put our systems behind it.
SolBowl
Three stores when it joined the group. Seven today.
Bean Bar
An Adelaide chain of five stores, joining Piccolo Me this year.
Built in-house. Grown with partners.
We create the brands, the menus and the technology ourselves. Stores are run by our own teams and by franchise partners, on one playbook.

Started with one coffee machine.
Founded by Harry El Hachem and his sons, Charlie and Roy, who grew up in hospitality and spent years behind the coffee machine. The first café opened at 10 Bridge Street in Sydney's CBD in 2012. The three of them still run the business today.
