Frichti at Work partners with Wojo Montparnasse
Wojo Montparnasse's cafeteria is designed to bring residents together and encourage links that could potentially generate business between the companies on the site. Located on the fifth floor, next to the quiet coworking space, this area is also the scene of something new. The coworking brand has entered into an agreement to manage this place, which is key to the ambience of the site. partnership with Frichti at WorkFrichti's corporate brand.
Frichti is both a consumer company, with its home delivery service, and a B2B company, with the management of a dozen new-generation company restaurants - and soon more - revisiting the traditional canteen approach. In line with the "back to the future" spirit of Wojo Montparnasse, its restaurant offer is based on a click & collect solution. Ordering online, reserving a delivery slot - to streamline the collection of orders - , a message to let you know that your meal is ready: the whole process for the site's residents is digitalised. Without having to queue with their tray in a dark place, as is often the case in company restaurants.
In natural daylight, extended by a terrace, the "Cafet' Frichti" is alive and kicking all day long, from 8.30am to breakfast time and pastries until 7pm in the evening, or longer when afterworks are organised. With snacks available all day long, starter-main course or main course-dessert meals at €6.90 or €9.90, and a full meal at €12.90, the offer is sure to appeal.

Frichti's CSR approach is also based on optimised management of food waste, involving both analysis of the dishes that are eaten most and the return of unsold food to the general public in the evening.
" Our Cafet' are real living spaces, where employees come at all hours to eat, but also to talk with their colleagues, organise meetings, get together..." says Olivia Coville, Director of Frichti At Work. As well as the technological side of the solution, Frichti's offering also has a human dimension. " We knew that Frichti had a fairly strong HR footprint, in line with what we were looking for. That is, to have guests with this emotional intelligence to chat with a CEO or an assistant, who also remembers that one person takes his coffee lying down, and another wants it strong." says Lucie Hoche, manager of Wojo Montparnasse.
However, site members will not be the only ones to benefit from this new partnership. For Wojo Montparnasse also opens all its meeting rooms and event venues to outside customers.. These include Club 7, a private area on the top floor with an adjoining terrace that can host events and conferences for up to fifty people.
As Wojo develops corporate events, so does the partnership with Frichti. This enables the site to offer seminar or training packages over one or two days with breakfasts and meal trays offered by Frichti. "By offering it to our customers, we know that it's a real addition to our offer, whereas meal trays rarely leave an unforgettable impression.
As far as the seminar business is concerned, the Wojo site can also count on potential synergies with one of its shareholder Accor's establishments, the nearby Pullman Montparnasse. A hotel directly connected to the coworking centre by a terrace. " To support major events organised at the hotel, our meeting rooms can be used as sub-committee rooms. We are even receiving requests from the hotel about our availability in August 2023." says a surprised Lucie Hoche. The horizon seems so far away for a place that has only just opened its doors.
