What CHEZ TOTOR does

CHEZ TOTOR (legal name: Dancing Chez Totor) is a family-owned multi-service entertainment venue founded on May 11, 1962 in Publier, Haute-Savoie, France, at 23 Route Pays de Gavot. The business operates a traditional dancing hall and discotheque open Friday and Saturday nights (22h30-3h), Sunday afternoons (15h-20h30), and Monday afternoons (14h30-19h), offering themed nights including Rock'N'Roll, 80s/90s/2000s, disco, salsa latino, and musette rétro with live orchestras on Sundays. In 1990, the venue expanded with an outdoor swimming pool (open seasonally from May to mid-September) that includes a poolside bar and small restaurant. The company also provides catering, banquet services, and private event venue rentals — including a separate annex room that seats approximately 70 and a main terrace/dancing-hall combination that accommodates up to 300 guests for weddings, receptions, and anniversaries.

The venue serves local residents and tourists in the Lake Geneva corridor spanning Thonon, Evian, and Amphion, with menus featuring Savoyard fondue, couscous, choucroute, sangria, champagne, and buffet catering. Revenue is generated entirely on-site through cover charges for dancing, food and beverage service, pool entry, and event venue rental — all booked via walk-in, phone (+33450708130), email ([email protected]), or in-person consultations. Distribution is strictly regional and direct-to-consumer; there is no app, no e-commerce channel, no API, and no delivery logistics. The data controller listed under the RGPD notice is MAURICE Victor, indicating direct owner-operator management without institutional investors or external ownership structures. Headcount is reported at 17 employees, consistent with a single-site hospitality operation spanning bar, kitchen, pool, and event staffing.

The business model is purely transactional and seasonal: the discotheque generates recurring weekend revenue across the calendar year, while the pool and outdoor catering are concentrated in the May-to-September window. Wedding and banquet bookings provide lumpier but higher-ticket revenue tied to the venue's capacity and integrated food-and-beverage offering. Marketing relies on the company website (cheztotor.com), local SEO, and word-of-mouth referrals rather than paid acquisition. No funding rounds, partnerships of strategic scale, patents, or certifications are disclosed.
