What TOMCAT Hospitality does
TOMCAT Hospitality is a privately held Romanian multi-brand restaurant group operating under the legal entity TOMCAT COMSERV SRL, founded by CEO Cătătălin Gheorghe with the opening of NOA Restoclub in Bucharest in September 2016. The group has scaled to approximately 45 locations across Romania (Bucharest, Iași, Cluj, Timișoara, Constanța, Bacău) under a diversified portfolio of 13+ dining brands spanning multiple price points and cuisines: premium à la carte (NOA Steakhouse, Élephante, Sagakura, Osteria Treevi, NOA Romanian Tapas & Wine), QSR/fast-casual (Treevi Pizza al Taglio with 18 locations, Fabrica de Ciorbe, The Bao House, Fabrica de Tocănițe), artisan pâtisserie franchise (French Revolution Eclairs), and a forthcoming flagship food hall (Marketta Foodhall, scheduled end of 2026). The company employs approximately 200 people across its network and generated €15 million in revenue in both 2023 and 2024.
The group operates through three revenue streams: direct dine-in sales across owned restaurant locations, franchise fees and royalties from third-party operators licensing Treevi Pizza, Fabrica de Ciorbe, The Bao House, and French Revolution Eclairs brands, and forthcoming tenant rent from Marketta Foodhall — a 3,600 sqm venue at the historic Ford Factory building in Bucharest's Floreasca district, positioned as Eastern Europe's largest food hall with 40+ dining concepts under a ~€24 million annual lease commitment. Distribution is omnichannel: direct dine-in, food delivery aggregators for fast-casual brands, OnTopo for reservations, and an active social media and press presence across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Tripadvisor. The group maintains a strategic Maison Ruinart champagne partnership for Élephante. TOMCAT Hospitality is founder-owned with no disclosed external institutional investors, private equity, or venture capital backing, and shows no evidence of acquisition-driven growth — expansion has been organic through brand launches and franchise rollout.

TOMCAT Hospitality operates as both a landlord collecting rent from third-party tenants and as an operator of its own brands within the venue.
