Our Story

Bearnard was founded in 2023, inspired by a moment in a cosy Italian café in South London. Aleks, then a second-year student at the University of the Arts, was enjoying a cappuccino while finishing up a project when a lively family of four sat nearby. As the kids grew bored waiting for their meals, they began running around the café. Aleks noticed the stress on the waitress’s face, and the mother handing over tablets to keep the children entertained.

For Aleks, this moment was personal. As a child, she wasn’t as full of energy, often missing out on those playful moments. Seeing kids glued to screens made her think—what if there was a way to channel their energy more creatively, helping families relax and taking the pressure off restaurant staff?

That simple thought led to the creation of Bearnard. Our mission is to help restaurants keep children entertained without relying on screens, allowing families to enjoy their meals together while the staff can focus on delivering excellent service in a calm environment.
