**ABOUT THE COMPANY**

**Who are we**:
Gone are the days of big copy and paste cafe franchise chains. GROW is committed to maintaining the charm and community that a local cafe brings, whilst providing our Operating Partners the buying power and support networks of a large group.

We are on a mission to provide real wholefoods to our local communities - all the food you love just without the nasties. We promote our Operating Partners to be intrapreneurial and innovate with the offering of their menu and services within the guidelines of G.R.O.W:
**Green** - Responsible and sustainable. Eg swap and go coffee cups, compostable packaging, waste management programs.

**Regional** - Community is at our heart. Eg regional suppliers and community give-back initiatives.

**Organic - **Where possible. Sourcing from farmers who support the environment and our health.

**Wholefoods** - Real food. No additives. No nasties. Minimally processed. Predominantly gluten-free. Eg no industrial oils, no meats with chemical nitrates, no beverages like Coke and Pepsi (replaced with natural sodas like 'Naked').

All of our venues are different. Local. Our Operating Partners are responsible for understanding their local community and market, and tailoring the venue for the community. To achieve this, we will recruit business leaders who know how to build, lead and manage a strong hospitality business - and incentivise them by way of a profit share in their business.

**We provide**:

- Systems to empower our people to build their business, and training to upskill them in areas of opportunity.
- A range of recipes including items from our central production kitchen that are the GROW criteria approved - for Operating Partners and their chefs to develop their own local menu in collaboration with the GROW Support Crew.
- Workshops and development in the GROW culture and philosophy. Eg farm field trips, waste management training, and speaking events by thought leaders in the wellness and sustainability spaces.
