Hervé Thizy Traiteur

What Hervé Thizy Traiteur does

Hervé Thizy Traiteur is a privately held French catering company (SAS) headquartered in Voglans, near Chambéry, operating in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The firm delivers full-service catering to two principal customer segments — professional/corporate clients (seminars, conventions, cocktail receptions, gala dinners, breakfasts and breaks) and private individuals (weddings, family celebrations, baptisms) — with an event capacity spanning 2 to 2,000 guests across the Savoie, Haute-Savoie, Isère, and Ain departments. Revenue is generated through unit-priced, pay-as-you-go offerings across five product lines: meal tray delivery (six price tiers from €15.50 to €24.50 HT including dietary-restricted and glass-jar ranges), breakfast and snack packages (€37.00–€40.00 HT), on-the-go meal baskets and takeaway formulas (€12.00–€14.00 HT), self-composable cocktail and buffet coffrets (€34.50–€96.00 TTC), and full-service event organization with on-site service personnel. Distribution operates through direct delivery to Chambéry and Aix-les-Bains (€15 HT, waived for 10+ person orders, 48-hour advance notice), customer pickup at the Voglans headquarters, and full on-site service for venue-based events.

The company's underlying technology is culinary craft and event logistics rather than software: production relies on a small kitchen brigade led by Head Chef Sébastien Chateau and Sous Chef Victor Boulangeat, supplemented by an external network of more than 16 venue partners (châteaux, exhibition centers, tourism offices) and equipment rental and event agency partners that enable turnkey event delivery. The core commercial asset is a curated venue partnership network rather than a proprietary platform. The marketing and sales motion is sales-led and event-driven — direct engagement via the company website, phone, and email — with no disclosed paid advertising, social media presence, or digital marketing infrastructure beyond a static website.

In 2024, founder Hervé Thizy transferred ownership of the company to his long-tenured team — Sébastien Chateau (17+ years), Victor Boulangeat (8 years), and Laetitia Paggetti (10 years) — preserving the original culinary philosophy of refined, generous cuisine built around local suppliers, seasonal products, and biodegradable/recyclable packaging. No external funding, parent company, M&A activity, or technology acquisitions are disclosed; the business operates as a self-funded regional traiteur with a share capital of €62,490 and SIRET 81513664300013.
