What Reston's does

Restonis is a French collective catering company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Ivry-sur-Seine, operating as a Société par Actions Simplifiée (SAS) with €400,000 share capital. The company specializes in providing on-site catering services to healthcare and medico-social establishments, particularly EHPADs (nursing homes) and FAM/MAS facilities serving elderly and disabled populations, with approximately 220 employees distributed across 50+ restaurant sites serving more than 5,000 covers per meal throughout France. Restonis is operationally embedded within the Adef Résidences group as its dedicated catering arm, and has diversified into adjacent verticals including school catering, corporate catering, and home meal delivery (portage de repas) for local communities.

The company's core offering centers on balanced, nutritionally adapted meals designed for vulnerable populations, with expertise in texture-modified diets and specific dietary restrictions. Beyond basic meal provision, Restonis operates culinary animation programs (themed festive meals, regional cuisine events), gastronomic dining experiences in care homes, and an annual culinary competition ('Bienvenue en Saveurs Inconnues'). The business has built supporting partnerships to enhance differentiation: Vif! circuits courts for local agricultural sourcing from 80 producers within 150km of Paris, Institut Lyfe Executive Education for professional chef training, and Michelin-starred Chef Régis Marcon for culinary demonstrations.

The revenue model is B2B managed services, with catering contracts negotiated directly with establishments (predominantly within the Adef Résidences network). Pricing is not publicly disclosed as contracts are tailored per facility. The go-to-market is direct-to-client with on-site food preparation and service delivery by Restonis teams — no intermediaries or franchise model is used. The company maintains an active presence across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and its corporate blog ('Le Mag' Restonis'), and participates in trade events such as the Salon des Maires to pursue municipal contracts.
