What FoodChéri does

FoodChéri is a French corporate catering platform founded in 2015 and headquartered in Paris, with a flagship culinary production kitchen in Sucy-en-Brie employing 90 in-house cooks. The company delivers healthy, sustainably-sourced meals to office-based employees through four interlocking channels: Comptoir (full-service on-site canteen staffed by a dedicated Comptoir Manager for 100+ employee sites), Frigo Connecté (a 2m² IoT smart fridge stocked and replenished by FoodChéri for 24/7 autonomous employee access at 20-200+ employee offices), Livraison de repas (individual meal delivery via a branded mobile app and website for 10-50+ employee teams), and Plateaux Repas (pre-composed meal trays for meetings and events starting at €23.95 TTC). Meals are prepared entirely in-house from a proprietary recipe library of 800 dishes per year, with 50% vegetarian and 47% carrying a Nutri-Score A or B rating.

The platform integrates with the major French meal voucher providers — Edenred, Swile, Pluxee (ex-Sodexo Pass Restaurant), Bimpli, Up, Restoflash, and Sodexo's Toqla/SoHappy badge systems — in addition to standard card payment rails (Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay). Since January 2024 FoodChéri has operated as a Société à Mission with biennial third-party audits, supplemented by Écotable, Positive Company, and Entreprises Engagées pour la Nature certifications. The company serves 1,000+ corporate customers including Goldman Sachs, La Poste Groupe, Christian Dior, Ubisoft, Altice, KNDS, Air Liquide, BFM TV, Universal, and Yamaha Motor Europe.

FoodChéri generates revenue through a combination of recurring corporate subscriptions (per-employee or per-meal fees for connected fridge and Comptoir deployments, e.g., approximately €4,800/month HT for two connected fridges serving ~201 meals per week), individual transaction fees on app/web orders (€8.5-€23.95 per meal), and one-time event catering pricing (€23.95 TTC starting for Plateaux Repas). The company is a subsidiary of Sodexo, the global food services and facilities management conglomerate, and operates across the Paris region and the metropolitan areas of Lyon, Marseille, and Nantes. FoodChéri produces 10,000+ dishes per day and has cumulatively delivered 19 million meals since inception, with a workforce of 200+ collaborators across culinary, operations, and logistics.
