Floor: The floor should not be difficult to clean, as customers may spill Nutella or salted butter caramel.
Ventilation: Nothing special if the room has large windows that can be opened. If only air conditioning is available, we will be forced due to the release of smoke (presence of detectors) to limit the number of crepe makers and not to make buckwheat flour galettes.

No, not with us. And we'll explain why...
The Crepe has the reputation of bringing the best profitability of the restoration with the tea, the coffee and the pizza. It's true if you use ready-made industrial mixes for the dough, if you fill jars of Nutella with first-price spread, if you replace salted butter with oil, if you're sparing on the emmental cheese and other tricks of the trade.
On the other hand, the craftsman who works conscientiously will do the opposite and prepare his pasta himself, make the salted butter caramel which take a time, use quality ham and sometimes even organic. More than ingredients, a crepe service in an event takes time, a lot of time. Here is an example corresponding to our basic package:
The day before:
- purchases: 1 hour
- preparation of the batter: 30 to 45 minutes
The day of the event:
- loading of the vehicle and journey to your location: 1h minimum
- arrival 1h in advance to set up the stand and deal with the imponderables
- entertainment: 2h or more (depends on the booking)
- packing up 30 minutes to 1h (for information a 240 degrees machine takes 45 min to cool)
- return and unloading: 1 hour minimum
- dishes and administrative tasks: 45 minutes
Organizing a crepe ban for a standard service therefore requires nearly 8 hours of work. Amazing, right? For all these reasons you now understand why we do not offer a "cheap low cost discount crepes" service.😉
