Prémices offers companies a network of selected private chefs for one-off culinary services: business lunches for a small group, leadership dinners, year-end cocktails and residential seminars. Each service is designed to measure, in your offices or any venue you choose, with the gastronomic standard your guests deserve. Here gastronomy becomes a means of representation, not a logistical detail to delegate to any contractor.
A private chef for all your professional events.
Business lunches and dinners for small groups
A successful business meal leaves no room for improvisation. The chef comes to your offices or the room you have booked, prepares a gastronomic menu suited to the context, formal or relaxed, and serves at the table. No crowded restaurant, no indiscreet neighbours: the working lunch takes place in your environment, at your pace. Leadership teams and sales departments of large groups trust Prémices with their sensitive meetings for exactly this reason.
Cocktails, evenings and year-end events
For a company cocktail dinner or a product launch evening, the Prémices service goes beyond cooking: the chef coordinates the menu, the set-up of the spaces and the service. Gastronomy is at the heart of the event, not in the background, and your colleagues or clients leave with the memory of an experience rather than a standard buffet.
Residential seminars and leadership retreats
A seminar on an estate, in a mountain chalet or a coastal villa deserves food equal to the setting. Prémices chefs travel to Courchevel, Deauville, Saint-Tropez, Cap d'Antibes and beyond to handle every meal of the seminar. Logistics are taken care of: fresh seasonal produce, set-up in the kitchen on site, table service. You manage your strategic agenda; the chef manages everything else.
What the Prémices corporate service includes.
From menu design to kitchen clean-up
The chef handles everything. He arrives about an hour and a half before the meal, takes over the available kitchen and prepares the whole menu on site with produce selected in advance for the season and your preferences. Table service is provided by the chef or, on request, with a service assistant. After the meal, the kitchen is left as it was found. All you do is the initial briefing with your Prémices contact.
A chef selected by Prémices, not recruited at random
Prémices is not a marketplace. Every chef in the network is selected through a rigorous process: blind cooking tests, assessment of punctuality, plating and hygiene standards. Only those who meet every criterion join, and our 4.9/5 Google rating reflects that standard on every service. The same selection applies to our private chef service at home.
Confidentiality and flexibility, our commitments to companies.
At Prémices, discretion is not a marketing line; it is a condition of practice. The chef and any service assistants working in your offices or at your private events publish nothing on social media without prior agreement. A confidentiality clause can be added to the service contract on request, common practice for companies in finance, industry or luxury that regularly use our services.
Formats are fully flexible: a lunch for four in a meeting room or a professional dinner for forty in a private venue, Prémices brings the right resources. The standard does not vary. For large events requiring a brigade, catering equipment or standing cocktail service, our corporate catering is designed for those formats, and both services can be combined.
