Code Cuisine Le Traiteur Grand-Est

What Code Cuisine Le Traiteur Grand-Est does

Code Cuisine Le Traiteur Grand-Est is a regional French catering and event hospitality company headquartered in Cosnes-et-Romain, Grand-Est, founded on May 12, 2012 by Audrey and Nicolas Rivoallan. Operating as EURL Code Cuisine under the Groupe Miam holding alongside sibling brands Léon et Marcel, Urbanroots, and Racines, the company delivers bespoke catering for weddings, private celebrations, corporate seminars, congresses, galas, and venue-based events ranging from 1 to 1,000+ guests across Grand-Est (Cosnes-et-Romain, Metz, Nancy, Reims, Strasbourg) with extension into Luxembourg and Belgium. Five physical offices anchor regional coverage, and the company maintains a referenced network of 20+ venue partnerships including official caterer status at the Centre des Congrès Robert Schuman in Metz (GL events).

The company's core operational assets include an in-house 5,000 m² organic permaculture garden (bio-certified August 2021) supplying fresh produce to the kitchen, ISO 20121 sustainable event management certification (since April 2021, renewed three consecutive years), a refrigerated delivery fleet, and a culinary team anchored by Euro-Toques members and a signature-menu partnership with Michelin-starred chef Michel Roth. Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based event catering priced by guest count, menu, service format, and location, with a 20% deposit at contract signing and milestone payments leading to the event. Complementary revenue streams include a Food Truck, pop-up Restaurant Éphémère, holiday à la carte take-away menus, gourmet boxes, and the Léon et Marcel consumer meal-delivery brand launched in 2020. The team comprises 14 FTE staff supported by event-day contracted labor.

Recent moves10 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Atelier des Chefs: French culinary events and catering operator with strong chef brand and B2B/B2C offering. Comparable in chef-led event hospitality and team-building/culinary experiences, though with a heavier weighting toward cooking classes versus full-event catering.

Broad incumbents

• Elior Events: Major French contract foodservice and event catering group serving corporate and institutional clients. Comparable for large-scale corporate and institutional event catering, though operating with much greater scale, capital backing, and standardized operations.
• Potel et Chabot: Historic French high-end caterer serving weddings, corporate events, and prestigious venues. Comparable as a full-service event caterer with broad national reach and venue partnerships, though operating at a larger scale and price point than Code Cuisine.
• Sodexo Live!: Global event and venue hospitality operator managing catering at major stadiums, arenas, and convention centers. Comparable for large-venue and congress catering partnerships (relevant to Code Cuisine's GL events partnership), but operating at massive scale with corporate B2B focus.
• Lenôtre: Iconic French gastronomy house with a major catering and event business alongside retail and schools. Comparable as a premium event caterer with culinary heritage and venue-style service, but operating nationally and globally versus Code Cuisine's regional footprint.

Regional players

• Constant Traiteur: Long-established French regional caterer serving weddings, corporate events, and private parties. Comparable as a multi-generational event caterer with venue partnerships and similar service tiers, though concentrated in a different French region.
• Maison Fossier: Established Reims-based culinary house known for biscuits and event services. Comparable as a Grand-Est-rooted gastronomy brand offering event catering and corporate hospitality, though with a different core product focus.
