Padel Time

What Padel Time does

Padel Time operates a multi-sport indoor facility in Auterive, in the south Toulouse metropolitan area of France, founded in 2022. The venue comprises four covered padel courts alongside two multi-use courts shared between badminton and pickleball, and is run on a self-service model with autonomous player access and no dedicated front-desk staffing. The business serves the regional amateur sports and recreation market, hosting more than 30,000 player visits per year and running over 80 sanctioned tournaments annually.

The revenue model is a hybrid stack built on a per-visit court rental price of €12 per person for 90 minutes of padel, layered with pre-paid credit packages, structured coaching programs (adult at €475/year, child at €290/year), equipment rental and retail, a dedicated well-being space, a terrace and dining offering, corporate event packages, and sponsorship. A B2B line is operated through CSE-style corporate employee-benefit packages. Managing director Marion SCESA leads a team of approximately seven employees, with named coaches Benjamin VIÉ and Rémi CANTIE attached to the coaching bench. The booking and access stack appears to be a standard SaaS-based reservation platform; no proprietary AI/ML components are disclosed.

The company is registered in France under SIRET 909754418, is GDPR-compliant, and uses Plausible for privacy-friendly web analytics. No funding rounds, investor disclosures, or annual revenue figures are publicly available. The business is therefore a small, privately held, single-site sports facility whose competitive position rests on local catchment scarcity, tournament community, and operational efficiency from the self-service model rather than on technology differentiation or scale advantages.
