What mPmC s.a.s. - mes Producteurs mes Cuisiniers does

mPmC s.a.s. (trade name: mes Producteurs mes Cuisiniers, or mPmC) is a French Société par Actions Simplifiée founded in 2016 in Lyon by four friends with backgrounds in graphic design, software development, web design, and marketing. The company operates a two-sided web and mobile marketplace platform that connects individual consumers with local producers, restaurants, artisans, and Point Producteurs Solidaires (PoPS) committed to seasonal, local, non-GMO, traceable food. The platform enables users to locate members via an interactive map with geolocation-based search, place direct orders with producers, and make real-time table reservations at partner restaurants. A dedicated "Menu mes Producteurs mes Cuisiniers" sub-product allows participating restaurants to identify, by ingredient, the local producers they source from.

The platform's core technology consists of a web application and native mobile apps on iOS and Android, supported by an online payment module that transfers the full sale price directly to producers minus only bank transaction fees. mPmC operates on a zero-commission model: the service is free for consumers, and revenue is generated solely through annual membership fees paid by producers, restaurants, artisans, and epiceries. The exact membership fee is not publicly disclosed. The company's go-to-market combines product-led self-service discovery with community-led partnerships, including institutional relationships with the City of Lyon, Grand Chambéry, the Chambre d'agriculture de Savoie Mont-Blanc, Maîtres Cuisiniers de France, and various AMAP and organic agriculture networks. The platform has been endorsed by Michelin-starred chef Christian Têtedoie (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) as its "Parrain" and received the "Lyon Ville Équitable et Durable" label in 2017. The company is currently active, operates with 5 employees, and has no disclosed institutional funding or parent company.

Revenue model

1. Annual Membership Fees: The company generates revenue solely from annual membership fees paid by producers, restaurants, artisans, and epiceries that join the network. The platform is free for consumers to use. No commission or percentage is taken on sales processed through the platform.
2. Online Payment Processing: While the platform passes the full payment amount to producers, it deducts actual banking fees associated with the payment module, making this a cost-neutral service rather than a revenue stream.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Pourdebon: French online marketplace selling directly from French producers and artisans. Comparable in connecting consumers with local/traceable producers and in emphasizing producer identity on listings, though it operates with a broader marketplace catalog and national delivery.
• La Ruche Qui Dit Oui: France's leading short-supply-chain food marketplace connecting consumers directly with local producers via weekly pickup points. Closest direct competitor to mPmC — same producer-to-consumer thesis, but operates at national scale with commission-based economics rather than mPmC's zero-commission subscription model.
• Le Panier Français: French B2B platform enabling retailers and restaurants to source directly from local French producers. Comparable in the producer-discovery and short-supply-chain thesis but targets professional buyers rather than end consumers.

Regional players

• Farmy: Swiss online marketplace delivering local and organic produce directly from farmers. Direct functional analog to mPmC's producer-direct-to-consumer model, but operates in Switzerland rather than France.

Broad incumbents

• HelloFresh: Global meal-kit subscription service. Adjacent competitor for the 'cook at home with fresh local ingredients' use case, but operates an industrialized recipe-kit model rather than producer-discovery.
• OpenTable: Global restaurant-reservation platform. Overlaps with mPmC's restaurant-reservation functionality but operates as a broad incumbent in restaurant tech rather than a curated local-food discovery platform.
• Frichti: French meal-delivery operator that has begun emphasizing local sourcing and producer partnerships. Comparable on French home-meal occasion but competes via delivery logistics rather than producer-discovery UX.
• Too Good To Go: Pan-European marketplace addressing food waste via surplus-meal discovery. Comparable as a French-originated consumer-facing food marketplace with a discovery-app UX, but its thesis (surplus/anti-waste) differs from mPmC's traceability/short-supply-chain thesis.
• TheFork (LaFourchette): European restaurant-reservation marketplace owned by Tripadvisor. Competes with mPmC on the restaurant-reservation feature and on restaurant discovery, but lacks mPmC's producer-ingredient traceability dimension.

Emerging players

• Yuka: French consumer app for food-product transparency and health scoring. Targets the same health/ethics-conscious French consumer as mPmC but addresses packaged-product transparency rather than local-producer discovery.
