What Casa Paco does

Casa Paco is a privately held Spanish restaurant and catering business operating from a single location at Avenue du Progrès 3/2, Alleur (Liège), Belgium, founded in 2017. The company is led operationally by head chef Bernard van der Cruys and serves traditional Spanish cuisine — tapas, paellas, grilled meats, and fish — alongside a Spanish wine list. The physical footprint comprises a main dining room seating up to 100 guests and a terrace for up to 30, with adjacent Bar Casa Paco operating as a standalone tapas bar Tuesday through Saturday. The restaurant closes on Mondays and Sundays and observes an annual closure from mid-July to early August.

The business is organized around four revenue streams: dine-in restaurant service (à la carte plus a fixed-price 24€ weekday lunch menu), take-away paellas sold through a dedicated e-commerce portal at €17–€30 per unit, on-site giant-paella catering for private and corporate events, and a mobile foodtruck service for festivals, weddings, and corporate gatherings across Belgium. A restaurant-privatization offering (up to 130 guests, available Monday–Thursday evenings and Sundays) monetizes off-peak capacity for corporate conferences. Customers transact through a mix of phone and email reservations, an online booking form, direct e-commerce payment on the take-away portal, and direct event-booking inquiries; no third-party delivery or marketplace integration is in evidence.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and direct-to-enterprise, with marketing limited to the company's own website, an email newsletter, and on-premises signage. The company has no disclosed external funding, no parent or group affiliation, no franchising activity, and no technology platform beyond a basic e-commerce storefront and online reservation form. Customer segments span individual diners, corporate event buyers, private celebration organizers, and public-event hosts, with no anchor-customer concentration disclosed.
