efficiency, affordable prices, and quick

Our story.

Fast Fine Restaurant Group is a Los Angeles and Stockholm based hospitality and
lifestyle company with a growing portfolio of restaurants. Born in Stockholm and
Madrid, longtime friends Christian Lagerlöf and Benjamin Calleja established Fast
Fine Restaurant Group in 2017 after years of working independently. Their vision
was born out of a need to bring experiential, thoughtful and efficient concepts to
the Stockholm and Los Angeles markets and, eventually, all over the world.

With a passion for innovative hospitality, Christian and Benjamin have the ambition
of growing a world class team to disrupt the restaurant industry by proving that
style does not have to be sacrificed for value.

To this day, this emphasis on operational excellence and unique guest
experiences remains at the core of Fast Fine.

A vibrant all-day social space.

what are we
solving for?

A welcoming and affordable experience. Guests are increasingly looking for an experience that will allow them to connect with the community and restaurants that will allow them to see and be seen. We want to prove that style and quality does not have to be sacrificed for value

A stylish neighbourhood hangout.

All dayparts, a contemporary third place. A modern ode to Gatsby-era grace that feels like home. Whether it’s morning coffee, late lunch with a colleague, dinner with friends, or a crave-worthy post-work cocktail, your go-to is a local treasure where you’re always amongst friends.

Rising labour costs.

Having made a proof of concept in Stockholm, Malmö and Los Angeles, all markets amongst the highest labor costs in Europe and US, has allowed us to focus on our main metric: Guests/Labour Hour, This, together with our use of technology solves for the global increase of cost of labour, allowing us to deliver extraordinary food and experience at a surprisingly affordable price point.

Technology-driven experience.

We enable AI-driven technology solutions within our environment to enhance guest experience and improve operational performance. Delivering a truly seamless digital experience and innovating in all aspects of it we are setting the standards for the industry.

Christian brought the highly successful
restaurant concept Vapiano to Sweden in 2007 and worked as its CEO until end of 2015.

His current focus is developing the Fast Fine restaurant group, while simultaneously advising PE companies and other investors regarding the foodservice industry.

Prior to entering the restaurant industry, Christian worked in the telecoms industry. He holds an MBA from Stockholm School of Economics, a MSc in electrical engineering from the Royal Institute of engineering, and a MSc in finance from Stockholm school of Business.
