Designing the Future of Hospitality — One Brand at a Time.

Where Creativity Meets Systems in the Art of Hospitality.

Snugleaf was born from years of running restaurants, hotels, and creative spaces.

We understand what it takes to build — and scale — hospitality businesses that are as soulful as they are sustainable.

Our journey began with WOCO Spaces, a boutique co-working space & The Mayflower — a cozy neighborhood café that grew into a family of restaurants, cloud kitchens, and hotels.

Through the process, we learned that great hospitality is equal parts creativity, structure, and intent.

Snugleaf was founded to help others build with that same philosophy — a balance of design, data, and discipline.
