LA CABANE A BAGELS

What LA CABANE A BAGELS does

La Cabane à Bagels is a French quick-service restaurant chain operating under the legal entity FREDEL SARL (founded 2017, registered in Bordeaux) with SARL BDF functioning as the parent holding entity. The company runs seven physical restaurant locations concentrated in southwestern France—five in the Bordeaux metropolitan area (Bouliac, Bègles, Bordeaux Lac, Mérignac, Saint-Médard-en-Jalles) and two in the Toulouse area (Portet-sur-Garonne, Roques). Each location is sited inside a high-traffic shopping center (Leroy Merlin, Leclerc, Carrefour, or Rives d'Arcins), leveraging captive foot traffic from anchor retailers.

The core product is the bagel, produced from a proprietary in-house recipe baked by an external partner bakery. The menu is structured around customizable bagels (€8.30–€11.80), salad formulas, Strasbourg sausage hot dogs, desserts, beverages, and chips, with set menu combinations ("formules") running €8.50–€14.10. The customer experience is built around a distinctive Canadian cabin aesthetic—oak counters, raw wood finishes, swings, and smartphone charging stations—differentiating the brand from generic fast-food competitors. Ordering is supported by an in-house PrestaShop-based e-commerce platform enabling click-and-collect from any of the seven locations, with online payment processing via MONETICO.

The business model is straightforward D2C restaurant revenue: in-store and online click-and-collect sales at each location, no delivery model. Pricing is per-unit transactional with no subscription, loyalty program, or enterprise contracts identified. Marketing is limited to organic Facebook and Instagram presence. Corporate staff headcount is approximately five, with the location-level workforce managed separately. The company indicates a franchise opportunity via a dedicated website page, suggesting plans to monetize the concept beyond directly operated stores.
