What Frichti does
Frichti is a Paris-based quick-commerce meal delivery and corporate catering company founded in 2015 by Julia Bijaoui (co-founder & co-CEO) and Quentin Vacher (co-founder). It operates two distinct business lines: a B2C service delivering prepared meals and groceries to consumers in Paris and Île-de-France with a reported 15-minute average delivery time, and a B2B corporate catering platform branded "Frichti At Work" serving 7,000+ businesses across France. The B2C side has accumulated 400,000 registered users with a 4.7/5 satisfaction rating, while the B2B side addresses companies ranging from SMEs to large enterprises through two product tiers — Cantine 2.0 (digital-only canteen) and La Cafet' Frichti (physical on-site restaurant).
The product portfolio includes Cantine 2.0 (a zero-footprint corporate canteen with connected-fridge technology, offered free to businesses), La Cafet' Frichti (a physical on-site restaurant solution requiring minimum 10m² of office space), Frichti Épicerie (a 150+ SKU grocery add-on), and the consumer iOS/Android applications. The technology stack combines a centralized Paris-based production kitchen, a proprietary library of 800+ recipes, last-mile delivery executed via bicycle and electric scooter, Stripe-powered payment processing, and standard analytics tooling (Google Analytics, Flurry, Onesignal). Sourcing is anchored on direct artisan relationships (e.g., tomato producer Enzo, cheesemaker Pascal Bellevaire), with 100% ingredient traceability, 90% free-range poultry, and recyclable packaging positioned as quality differentiators.
Frichti generates revenue through three streams: per-transaction B2C credit card payments; recurring monthly B2B subscriptions for Cantine 2.0 with employer-subsidized lunch formulas starting at €6.90 per employee (up to 35% below à la carte pricing); and custom-quoted monthly subscriptions for full Cafet' installations. The company operates as New Frichti SAS under parent entity Deleev, employs 251-500 people, and has raised approximately $56M across four funding rounds from 2015 to 2019 from Alven, Felix Capital, Idinvest Partners, and Verlinvest.

Frichti competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Deliveroo: London-headquartered on-demand food delivery platform operating across Europe including France; directly competes with Frichti's B2C delivery business for urban meal orders, though without Frichti's own-kitchen vertical integration.
- Uber Eats: Global on-demand food delivery marketplace with strong Paris presence; competes head-to-head with Frichti's consumer meal delivery and benefits from significantly greater scale and marketing budget.
- Just Eat Takeaway: European food delivery marketplace operating in France (Just Eat) and Belgium (Takeaway), overlapping directly with Frichti's two core geographies for restaurant and prepared meal delivery.
- FoodChéri (Seazon): French subscription-based prepared meal delivery service; closely comparable to Frichti on fresh ready-to-eat meals, central-kitchen model, and B2C recurring revenue, also serving the Paris market.
Emerging players
- Getir: Turkish-origin ultrafast grocery and prepared food delivery operator with European footprint; competes with Frichti on 10–15 minute delivery promise and prepared meal SKUs, but with broader grocery assortment.
- Gorillas: Berlin-based quick-commerce operator (acquired by Getir in 2022) focused on ultrafast grocery delivery in European cities; competes with Frichti on speed and urban delivery density, particularly relevant for any France expansion plans.
- Flink: Berlin-headquartered quick-commerce operator active across Germany and the Netherlands; competes on the same 10–15 minute urban delivery proposition as Frichti, useful as a capital-efficiency benchmark.
Broad incumbents
- Sodexo: Global food service and facilities management incumbent with a large corporate catering division; competes with Frichti At Work on enterprise food service contracts and benefits from multinational client reach.
- Elior Group: France-based contract food services company serving corporate, education, and healthcare clients across Europe; a direct competitor for Frichti At Work's corporate canteen and Cafet' offerings in France.
Regional players
- La Belle Vie: Paris-based premium online grocery and prepared meal delivery service; comparable as a French competitor in fresh prepared food delivery with similar urban Paris customer profile.
