36 houses, one network
"Pooling resources makes everyone stronger. In our network of SMEs, Talkspirit is an essential driver of transformation and agility." — Alban Cailliau, Network Manager, Traiteurs de France
36 houses, one network
France's leading catering network
Traiteurs de France is the largest national network of event caterers. Present across multiple regions, it supports private, corporate, and multi-site events throughout France. Its mission: organising your events through constant improvement — innovation, environmental and social priorities.
The network brings together 36 houses and more than 1,500 employees nationwide.
Building a network at national scale
With more than 1,500 employees spread across 36 houses, the challenge: make information sharing easier, transform collaboration, and boost internal synergies.
A network scattered nationwide
The national convention surfaced plenty of ideas from all sides — with no channel to carry them forward and share them the rest of the year.

Driven by the network, carried by ambassadors
Why Talkspirit: easy to get started, an intuitive platform accessible on every device (desktop, mobile, tablet), and responsive customer service and technical support.
The Board and the 36 houses
The project is driven by the Network Manager, convinced of the value of an internal social network. First step: get the Board and the 36 houses on board.
Relays across the whole network
Ambassadors are designated everywhere to roll out the platform and reach the goal: more participation and more exchange.
Trades and projects
Creating trade groups and project groups makes it easier to exchange and share information on shared topics — a real "plus" for employees.
Chat, feed, and video
Messages, ideas, and documents are shared freely via chat, groups, and the news feed; video brings teams from different houses closer together.
Pooling resources makes everyone stronger
What the internal social network changed for Traiteurs de France.
Ideas are shared all year round
Chat, groups, news feed: messages, ideas, and documents are shared and discussed freely — without waiting for the national convention.

A united network, trades no longer siloed
Exchanges between administration, chefs, and teams bring the houses closer; accessible internal documents make onboarding newcomers simpler and more pleasant.

Information flows down, ideas flow up
Network HQ informs the 36 houses; in return, ideas and suggestions flow back up and are shared with every member.

We showed the auditors what we were already doing every day in Talkspirit. Living governance wasn't a side project: it was built into the way we work.
Thanks to the organisational map built in Talkspirit, everyone knows who does what and what their responsibilities are. This transparency helps each person better understand the direction the company is taking, and lets us align our efforts to fulfil our purpose.
Talkspirit played a key role in clarifying roles, responsibilities and cross-team collaboration within our hierarchical organisation. [...] The tool has also transformed the way we run our meetings. In the past, our meetings were often unproductive. Today, they are better structured, roles are clearly defined and decision-making is far more efficient.
Having a strong intention to change wasn't enough. We needed a tool capable of supporting the practical workings of this new organisational approach.
Organisational clarity and agility allow everyone to fully apply their skills and reach their full potential. It gives people wings. And every organisation needs that.
Adopting Holacracy has helped us gain autonomy and clarity. Employees know what's expected of them, so they can make decisions without constantly seeking everyone's approval. [...] The result: our trust index now stands at 89 out of 100!
In the past, we would have managed with emails, but the documents would have ended up scattered all over the place. With Talkspirit, we share files directly in an organised, structured and centralised way. The latest updates are gathered in a single place, so we can discuss them in real time and act as quickly as possible.
Talkspirit brings us closer to our teams, fuels collective intelligence and makes day-to-day information sharing far smoother.
Pooling our strengths makes each of us stronger. Within our network of SMEs, Talkspirit is an essential driver of transformation and agility.
Talkspirit allows every employee to fully unlock their talents. If someone has skills in several areas, they can take on different roles without being boxed into a single job description. This flexibility in roles also strengthens our agility — an essential asset in today's VUCA world (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous).
