In 2020, 4Food was founded with the goal of becoming a top-quality brand basket company in the Italian retail restaurant industry through two approaches. The first is franchising, which positions 4Food as a hub for foreign companies looking to enter the Italian market and develop new and innovative concepts. The second approach is direct management, which involves acquiring or creating brands that will be developed "from the ground up" in the Italian market.

Our targets

1. Keep a close eye on changing customer preferences and develop new brands that appeal to the evolving tastes.
2. Keep abreast of global F&B trends and identify successful brands that could be adapted for the Italian market by partnering with international trendsetters
3. Identify and collaborate with foreign companies that are interested in expanding into the Italian market by bringing new F&B concepts to Italy
4. Identify high-traffic and top-premium locations in strategic areas where the company's current and future brands can thrive

Our brands:
