Our Story

Two brothers.
One bowl.
A bigger vision.

What started with one bowl is growing into a family of brands built around food, drinks, sweets, culture, and innovation.

Bentley Bowl was born during one of the most uncertain moments in recent history.

While the world slowed down during the pandemic, 14-year-old Bentley Waller was spending his days in Zoom meetings with his mother, dreaming about a business that could bring people together around his favorite cuisine, soul food. What began as an idea quickly became a mission.

Night after night, Bentley worked alongside his mentor, Auntie Ora, testing recipes, refining techniques, and chasing one goal: to create a fried chicken unlike any other. After four years of relentless experimentation, he developed Bentley Bowl's signature chicken, a lighter, crispier bite seasoned with bold California flavors while honoring the soul of the traditions that inspired it.

But Bentley wasn't just creating recipes.

Even before there was a food truck, a kitchen, or a single customer, he envisioned something much bigger. Every seasoning blend, every sauce, every process, and every bowl was designed with intention. The question was never just, "Does it taste good?" It was, "Can we build a brand and a franchise experience that delivers this same feeling anywhere?"

As the vision became reality, the family grew with it.

After returning home from college, Bentley's brother, Kadar Waller, joined the mission, bringing his passion for leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Together, Bentley's culinary creativity and Kadar's business mindset transformed a family dream into a growing California brand. Alongside their parents, Aunt Ora, and an incredible team, Bentley Bowl became more than a restaurant, it became a family-built movement celebrating culture, community, and possibility.

Today, Bentley Bowl serves thousands of guests through catering, community partnerships, private events, and its growing food truck operation. Every bowl served is another step toward a much larger vision.

That vision now extends far beyond the bowl.

Bentley Bowl is growing into a family of brands that share one purpose: creating unforgettable experiences through food, hospitality, and innovation. From Pink Pie desserts and Sippin Swae beverages to Pink Drip coffee, smart food technology, retail products, and future restaurants, every brand reflects the same belief:

Create with purpose. Serve with soul. Innovate without limits. Deliver California Soul Food in every bite and every sip.

We're building more than restaurants.

We're building a California lifestyle brand rooted in family, inspired by community, and driven by the belief that honoring tradition and embracing innovation can exist in the same bowl.

This is Bentley Bowl.
