Yemma Yummy

What Yemma Yummy does

Yemma Yummy is a Marseille-based catering company that prepares and serves world cuisine for corporate and private events in the Marseille metropolitan area. Founded in 2018 by Assia Ali after a 10-year marketing and data analytics career at large French corporates and a Southeast Asia sabbatical, the business is structured as a sole proprietorship ('Madame Assia ALI',) operating with 1-10 employees. The core offering is organized into three product lines — Cocktails-Buffets for corporate events and team building, Pause Gourmande for breakfast, snacks, and brunch, and Lunch Box for office dining — supplemented by Nos Yummylicious Mignardises appetizers. Food is prepared using authentic recipes from five continents by a curated network of independent chefs ('Chef(fe)s du monde') recruited from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, with biodegradable or reusable packaging and seasonal ingredients.

Revenue is generated through quote-based catering contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed and customers request quotes via phone, email, or a website contact form. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (Bouygues, CIC, CMA CGM, Ponant, Initiative Marseille, Société Marseille) with self-serve quote requests from individuals and smaller clients for weddings and private events. Distribution is exclusively regional — limited to Marseille and surrounding areas — through direct delivery and on-site service, supported by organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram) and a content-led website. The company carries no external funding, no subsidiaries, and no patent or trademark filings in the input data.
