Who found Moma Group?
Founded in 1997 by French businessman Benjamin Patou, Moma Group has become a veritable empire and leader in the global sectors of hospitality, entertainment and restauration. With a large expansion in France, most notably Paris, and around the world, Moma Group currently boasts top restaurants in London, Athens, Doha and Saint-Barth and looks to extend its reach even further.
What sets this group apart from other industry leaders is its ability to continuously create new establishments with unique design concepts and completely distinctive identities. From a lavish Parisian salon such as Lapérouse to charming Southern Italian atmosphere of Noto in Saint Tropez, Moma Group turns anything it touches to pure culinary gold.
Having focused on a powerful expansion into the restaurant industry in 2014, Moma Group has established itself as a high-end group from whom people expect only the best. By working with top chefs, architects and artists, the Moma Group has been able to grow to an unprecedented degree over the past decade.
Moma Group: Today ad Tomorrow.
This influential group was not untouched however by the grave financial impacts of the pandemic; experiencing a drop of turnover by 70% in 2020 and 45% in 2021. These struggles are now but a distant memory as CEO Benjamin Patou was determined to keep the strength of the group and in 2022 joined forces with three new investors: Parick Bruel (French actor & singer and longtime friend of Patou), Éric Sitruk (Moma’s administrator) and Jean-David Sarfati (General director). Together these savvy businessmen hold 30% share of Moma group. The remaining 70% lies in the family holding of Patou.
Having recently celebrated their 10th anniversary, Patou announced in Le Parisien that they plan to open another 40 establishments worldwide before 2025, generating roughly 375 million euros! These bold initiatives and ambitious goals are what have allowed this group to come to employ over 1200 people worldwide and boast an increasing global turnover of 130 million euros in 2022.
