Hospitality Group
Hospitality is our culture

Otto MelloukiCo-Owner & Founder

Otto believes that success is a journey rather than a final destination; and at the age of 15 years old he made the decision to begin his own journey to success.

Otto arrived in London from Casablanca, and with a strong sense of determination and discipline he embarked on his own roadmap to achieve his desired goals. Otto equates his love and passion for food to his Mum, an exceptional woman, his mentor who continues to inspire him every day.

With clear goals serving as a lighthouse, Otto enrolled into an English School in Piccadilly and found his first employment in the hospitality sector in the UK; for the next 5 years Otto immersed himself into enhancing his knowledge through education and experience and also developing his skills through practice and application.

At the grand old age of 19, Otto visited Liverpool and fell in love with the city, the pool of life; deciding that this was where he would lay down his foundations, Otto opened his first business. With Ottos visionary approach, and his eye for detail; he is a driving force.

With determination and perseverance Otto has successfully created various food concepts, always being deeply involved in all aspects of the projects from the acquisition, planning and design fostering strong collaborations with the architects; always ensuring that his vision is achieved at every stage from the conception to the completion of each project he works on.
