Communiqué de Presse : Le spécialiste des équipements d'accueil pour enfants

WelcomeFamily, a specialist in childcare facilities, has established itself as the reference player in the Hotel and Restaurant sector

In Paris, March 12, 2019 - WelcomeFamily, which has been supporting restaurants and hotels since 2011 in welcoming children, is now No. 1 in the sector and offers a complete range of products: furniture created by the company, toys, white-label or licensed products, but also a "WelcomeFamily Certified" label that lists Kids Friendly establishments. According to a NPD Group study*, in 22% of the cases, children have an impact on the choice of restaurant... WelcomeFamily took on the challenge of convincing restaurant owners to better adapt to this clientele that knows what it wants and today, we can say that the bet is successful! Working with more than 6,000 hotels and restaurants in France and abroad, including big names such as McDonald's, Hippopotamus or Courtepaille, WelcomeFamily convinces more and more establishments to retain family customers. This is the success story of an Aix-based company that has gained the trust of the biggest players.

"WelcomeFamily is the story of three dads who thought that children were not welcome enough in hotels and restaurants. We started in 2011 by canvassing a few restaurants in the Aix region with a booster seat... we have grown a lot since then! More and more establishments have understood the interest of targeting a family clientele and trust us " explains Frederic Marz, co-founder of WelcomeFamily.
