About

 

Once upon a time, two dreamers arrived on the sun-soaked streets of California, carrying nothing but a suitcase full of hopes, a love for food, and a shared vision of creating something meaningful. Massimiliano, the thinker, with a mind that could untangle any system, and Michela, the heart, with the uncanny ability to make every person feel seen, knew they were about to build more than a business—they were about to craft an experience.

The Beginning

In a small, bustling restaurant in Santa Monica, they poured every ounce of themselves into each day. The air was thick with the aroma of fresh bread, sizzling pans, and espresso machines humming like tiny engines of possibility. Michela moved gracefully among tables and kitchen staff, teaching, guiding, laughing, and keeping the rhythm alive. Massimiliano sketched invisible circuits behind the scenes, imagining a world where technology could lift burdens rather than create them.

Challenges and Growth

There were long nights, of course. Nights filled with sticky floors, missing orders, and the quiet panic of a new recipe gone slightly awry. But there were also mornings of triumph, when a new dish came out perfect, a customer smiled with delight, or a team member found confidence in their role. Every challenge became a lesson, every mistake a stepping stone.

The Spark

One day, amidst the clatter of dishes and the chatter of customers, they realized something. Running a restaurant wasn’t just about cooking or serving—it was about harmony. It was about orchestrating people, processes, and tools so that everyone could shine without being overwhelmed. They saw the spark of possibility: what if they could take everything they had learned and build a system that could help any restaurant run smoother, smarter, and happier?

Mickey’s All Set

And so, Mickey’s All Set was born. A place where the warmth of human connection meets the precision of technology. A system that allows owners to breathe, teams to thrive, and guests to feel cared for at every moment. Here, passion and experience are woven together with innovation, creating an ecosystem where restaurants can flourish, and where every plate, every order, every smile tells a story.

Our Philosophy

For us, it’s simple: a great restaurant is built on clarity, care, and creativity. Every solution we create carries the lessons of our journey—the early mornings, the late nights, the laughter, the challenges, and the victories. Massimiliano brings the structure, Michela brings the heart, and together we help restaurants not just survive, but thrive, with joy, balance, and a little bit of magic in every day.
