“Hospitality is doing it tough, with one in eight businesses expected to close in 2026. I know how lonely it feels running a cafe or restaurant alone, which is why we built The Coffee Commune.
Our community brings hospitality people together to leverage better buying power, advocacy, and education. We’re building the world’s best ‘village’ to create a massive industry impact, helping you grow and be better tomorrow than today.”
Phillip Di Bella
