Napkin Services

What Napkin Services does

Napkin Services SARL is a Saint Barthélemy-based distribution company founded in 2001 that supplies professional CHR (Café, Hôtel, Restaurant) products to the island's hospitality and food service sector. The company operates as a local boutique and depot at Descente du dispensaire, Public, BP1102, offering phone and email ordering with free electric-van delivery Monday through Saturday. Its product portfolio spans hygiene and cleaning chemicals, disposable table service items, table linen rental and maintenance, professional clothing with embroidery customization, kitchen equipment, and packaging solutions — distributed under exclusive or direct representation agreements with European brands including Garcia de Pou (6,000+ product references), Eyrein Industrie (35-year French cleaning chemical manufacturer), Clement Design (professional clothing), and Duni (table art). The company is the unique distributor on Saint Barthélemy for Duni and the exclusive representative for Eyrein Industrie.

The business model is primarily transactional product resale (one-time sales) with one recurring revenue stream from table linen rental and maintenance. Pricing is opaque — no public price list; quotations are handled via direct phone and email contact. The customer base consists of SMB hotels and restaurants on the island. Napkin Services differentiates on three stated pillars: efficiency, availability, and eco-responsibility, the last expressed through ecolabelled products, recycled-material trash bags, concentrated chemical formulations, bulk 20L packaging, and electric-vehicle delivery. The company is registered as a SARL with €10,000 capital (SIRET 437 876 832 00068, RCS Basse-Terre, NAF 4618Z) and the website footer indicates it is part of the Titane group (titane.fr).

There is no proprietary technology layer, software platform, or AI capability — the technology footprint is limited to a standard website, social media profiles (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook), and traditional phone/email order intake. Marketing is omnichannel but modest in scale, relying on organic social and direct outreach rather than paid acquisition. The business carries structural concentration risk from its single-island geography and single-vertical (hospitality) exposure, with no disclosed revenue figures, no external funding, and no headcount disclosure.
