Bocas Group

What Bocas Group does

Bocas Group is a privately held, Miami-headquartered restaurant holding company founded in 2014 that operates a portfolio of four distinct full-service dining concepts in South Florida: Bocas Grill (Venezuelan and Latin traditional dishes such as arepas, cachapas, and saltados), Bocas House (Latin fusion with Peruvian influence, signature for its milkshakes and desserts), Francisca (Latin charcoal-grilled chicken), and Doral Steakhouse (Italian-American brunch and steak). The company is organized as a parent of wholly owned operating subsidiaries for each concept, with a corporate headquarters at 3399 NW 72nd Ave, Suite 129, Miami, and physical restaurant locations spanning Miami, Kendall, Orlando, Weston, and Doral.

The business runs on a traditional dine-in restaurant model: revenue is generated per-visit from food and beverage sales across the four concepts, with no disclosed digital ordering, delivery, or subscription channels. Marketing and customer acquisition are driven by the corporate website (bocasgroup.com) and individual brand sites, with operational differentiation claimed around signature menu items (milkshakes, charcoal chicken, traditional Latin recipes) rather than technology. The company uses no proprietary software platform, has no app, no API, and no AI capabilities identified in the source material. Bilingual front-of-house staffing is a stated operational requirement.

In 2021, Bocas Group transitioned to new ownership and management under a broader strategic mandate to consolidate its four concepts and expand geographically throughout South Florida and into additional American markets. The group is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity; its operating governance is private and no executive team is named in the available data.
