What Frichti does

Frichti is a French corporate catering company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Paris (32 avenue de Saint Mandé, 75012), operating as a SAS under President Julia Bijaoui. The company serves enterprise and mid-market employers through two complementary workplace meal solutions. La Cantine 2.0 is a fully digitized corporate canteen delivered at zero cost and zero office-space requirement to the employer, with employees ordering lunch formulas priced €5.50–€6.90 through an app and kiosk-based Click & Collect system. La Cafet' is a physical on-premise restaurant installation (minimum 10m²) operated by a dedicated Frichti host within client offices, functioning as a higher-touch subscription offering. Both products draw on a content library of 800+ homemade recipes using fresh, seasonal ingredients with full traceability to named artisan producers, and are supported by a proprietary last-mile logistics network spanning bikes, electric scooters, and natural gas vehicles.

Revenue is generated through three streams: per-meal transaction fees on lunch formulas, monthly subscriptions for La Cafet' spaces (priced by quote based on company size and service requirements), and managed-services revenue from the Subvention Frichti employer meal-subsidy administration product that competes with traditional restaurant vouchers. Add-on services — Click & Collect, Coffee Shop with barista, La Bulle Chaude hot kitchen, Room Service for events, L'Épicerie grocery delivery, and Cours Frichti home grocery — create an ecosystem around the workplace customer. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting HR and CSE committees, combined with a digital presence (atwork.frichti.co) and social media channels. Geographic coverage spans Île-de-France, Bordeaux, and the announced Nantes expansion; Frichti reports 7,000+ corporate customers and 2 million cumulative meals delivered, with CNIL declaration 1865695 for data-protection compliance.

At 252 employees, Frichti operates a logistics-intensive model combining kitchen production with multi-modal last-mile delivery. Brand-level positioning centers on RSE commitments — a partnership with Restos du Cœur de Paris (37,000 meals donated, 2nd-largest contributor), a partnership with GoodPlanet, and 70% consignment-based packaging in Cafet' locations. No public funding rounds, revenue figures, or third-party investor information are disclosed in the available material.

Core offering

Frichti is a B2B corporate catering provider that delivers homemade meals and manages workplace dining for companies. It sells two primary solutions: La Cantine 2.0, a digitized canteen requiring no office space and offered free to companies, with lunch formulas starting at €5.50–€6.90; and La Cafet' Frichti, a physical on-site restaurant space managed by a dedicated Frichti host within the client's premises on a monthly subscription basis.

Product overview

Frichti operates as a unified platform offering two primary corporate dining solutions: La Cantine 2.0 (a digitized, zero-space canteen delivering up to 30 daily recipes) and La Cafet' Frichti (a physical on-site restaurant requiring minimum 10m²). Both are underpinned by the same commitment to homemade meals from fresh, seasonal ingredients. The offering includes tiered lunch formulas (starting at €5.50–€6.90), add-on services such as Click & Collect, Coffee Shop, open kitchen (Bulle Chaude), room service catering, and L'épicerie Frichti grocery delivery. Employers can supplement employee meals via Subvention Frichti with tax exemption benefits. The platform spans Île-de-France, Bordeaux, and upcoming expansion to Nantes.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Compass Group: World's largest contract foodservice company operating brands such as Eurest and Scolarest. Provides overlapping workplace dining services to French and multinational enterprises and benefits from global procurement scale that Frichti lacks.
• Sodexo: Global leader in on-site foodservices and benefits & rewards services. Directly comparable to Frichti's corporate catering line of business and competes for the same enterprise HR/CSE accounts in France, but operates at much larger scale across multiple segments (facilities, vouchers, healthcare).
• Eurest (Compass Group): Workplace dining brand of Compass Group focused on French corporate accounts. Direct overlap with Frichti's Cafet' and Cantine 2.0 propositions, with the advantage of Compass's global procurement scale.

Direct peers

• Elior Group: French-headquartered contract caterer serving corporate, education, and healthcare clients across multiple geographies. Directly competes with Frichti in French B2B workplace catering with established enterprise contracts and a broader geographic footprint.
• Bertrand Restauration (Groupe Bertrand): French contract catering subsidiary of Groupe Bertrand with a focus on corporate and airport catering in France. Comparable to Frichti in targeting French corporate clients with on-premise dining concepts.
• Newrest: France-rooted international catering and in-flight services group with a strong corporate catering arm. Competes head-to-head with Frichti for French corporate contracts and similarly emphasizes quality and customization of workplace dining.
• Popchef: Paris-based B2B meal delivery startup offering corporate catering with a similar "digital canteen" go-to-market to Frichti's Cantine 2.0. Direct competitor for the same HR/CSE buyer targeting tech-forward and SMB employers in France.

Emerging players

• FoodChéri: French prepared-meal delivery company with both B2C and B2B offerings, similar in food-quality positioning (homemade, fresh) to Frichti. Provides partial overlap on B2B corporate lunch programs in Paris and competes for the same employee-meal occasion.

Others

• Pluxee (ex-Sodexo Benefits & Rewards): Meal-voucher and employee-benefits spin-off from Sodexo operating in France. Comparable to Frichti's Subvention Frichti tax-advantaged subsidy mechanism and competes for the same corporate benefits wallet, though without its own delivery capability.
• Swile: French employee-benefits platform and leading meal-voucher card provider. Closely adjacent to Frichti's Subvention Frichti offering, as both compete for the corporate meal benefit budget; Swile owns the payment/wallet side while Frichti owns the fulfillment side.
