Maison Léonard - Traiteur

What Maison Léonard - Traiteur does

Maison Léonard is a regional French catering business (traiteur) headquartered at 7 Avenue de Saint-Dié in Épinal, operating under the legal entity MELBA II – SASU since its founding in 1990. The company designs and executes customized catering for private events (weddings, baptisms, communions, birthdays, family meals, memorials) and professional events (seminars, gala dinners, inaugurations, year-end meals, retirement parties) for groups ranging from 20 to 3,000 guests, offered in buffet, table service, or cocktail formats. The current owner-operator, Samuel Mira, has run the business for over 12 years (since approximately 2012) and personally anchors the brand.

The product set is built around one core offering (custom traiteur services) supplemented by three modular lines: a home and workplace meal delivery service (portage de repas) operating 7/7 across 20+ communes around Épinal with 48-hour advance reservation; an in-house program of orchestrated dancing events (soirées, repas dansants, thés dansants) with online ticketing; and ancillary equipment hire (refrigerated trailers, rotisseries, tableware, insulated containers). A loyalty program (1 free meal per 15 purchased) is layered onto the dancing-dinner format. All food is produced in the company's own laboratories under a 'fait maison' positioning.

The business model is quote-based direct sales for event catering (one-time engagements) and per-transaction pricing for meal delivery, supplemented by ticketed recurring dancing events. Go-to-market relies on phone sales, a structured online quote-request form, and the company's website, with Stripe-powered online payment for event reservations. The company is privately held by a single shareholder with €220,000 of registered capital, serves only the Grand Est region of France, employs approximately 12 people, and discloses no revenue, no external funding, no parent company, and no proprietary technology beyond standard third-party integrations (Stripe, Google reCAPTCHA, Google Maps, OVH).
