Jerome Manion
Jerome is a hospitality operator and founder known for building from inside real venues, not boardrooms. Obsessive about how cafés actually function, he’s spent years scaling hospitality businesses and drinks brands by dismantling outdated beverage thinking and rebuilding it into faster, tougher, more profitable systems.
That mindset led to MORE MATCHA a hospitality-first drinks platform reframing matcha as a high-performance beverage category. From world-first matcha on tap to scalable, plug-and-play drink systems, MORE MATCHA sits at the centre of the cold beverage revolution reshaping modern menus.
Jerome focuses on the intersection of people, systems, and innovation driving the future of drinks.
