The group operates four brands: A Roca (traditional Monegasque specialties including Barbagiuan, Pissaladière, Fougasse Monégasque, Pan Bagnat, and Petits Farçis, originally founded in 1990 and acquired by the group in 2014), A Roca Gourmet (premium event catering), ICI Salad Bar (healthy customizable salad concept with 7 bases and 42 toppings, launched in 2014), and Poké Toqué (colorful poké bowl concept launched in 2018).

The company operates a vertically integrated production model anchored by a 520m² laboratory in the Fontvieille district equipped with cold preparation, hot preparation, pasta, and pastry workshops, supplemented by a digital food traceability application with computerized temperature monitoring. Revenue is generated across three streams: direct-to-consumer retail at 7 in-house establishments, on-site catering services for corporate events (cocktails, business lunches, weddings, receptions at major Monaco events including Grand Prix F1 and Yacht Show), and wholesale distribution of Riviera specialties to large and medium retail chains across the French Riviera and Côte d'Azur. The group employs 70+ collaborators and is led by Directeur Général Grégory Rougaignon. There is no parent company, no disclosed external investors, and no funding rounds. The company holds the Monaco Welcome Certified label (2018) and pursues food waste reduction through partnerships with Too Good To Go (since 2018) and Ecoslowasting (since 2021), with 75% of packaging already eco-designed.
