What Loka vaisselle does

Loka Vaisselle (legal entity: Loca Vaisselle) is a French event equipment rental company founded in 2008 and registered as a SARL with €5,000 share capital. The company operates five agency depots across the Rhône-Alpes region — Saint-Étienne-de-Saint-Geoirs (registered office), Bourgoin-Jallieu, Roussillon, Grenoble area, and Sainte Consorce (Lyon) — and offers a catalogue of more than 4,000 product references spanning dishware (plates, cutlery, glassware, table accessories), furniture (tables, chairs, benches, cocktail tables, sofas), kitchen equipment (percolators, ovens, induction plates, planchas, fryers, chafing dishes), table linens, refrigeration, outdoor heating, tents and dance floors, and audio/lighting. Optional home delivery extends across the broader Rhône-Alpes region including Lyon, Grenoble, Valence, Chambéry, and Annonay.

The business runs on a transactional rental model: customers select their nearest agency on the website, build a cart from the online catalogue, and receive an official quote within 48 hours. Orders are confirmed with a 30% deposit and customers either pick up at depot or pay for distance-based delivery; cleaning/washing is bundled into the rental price. Pricing is per unit per day (weekend counted as one day), with no minimum order except cartons for fragile items, and damage/late-return surcharges apply per a published tariff. Revenue is generated primarily through equipment rental, with ancillary income from delivery fees and direct ice/ice cube sales.

Loka Vaisselle serves two primary segments — individual consumers (Particuliers) hosting private events such as weddings and family gatherings, and professionals (Professionnels) including event planners, caterers, restaurants, and hotels — plus a smaller segment of associations. Distribution is exclusively direct via the company's own depots and delivery fleet; no third-party resellers or marketplaces are used. Marketing relies on the website, a downloadable PDF catalogue, blog/event-planning content, and social media. The company also runs a franchise recruitment channel and an active hiring page, signaling intent to scale the depot model. No proprietary technology platform, no API, and no AI capabilities are disclosed; the only disclosed individual in management is Stephen Robin, listed as publisher on the legal notices page.
