The competition is a pure skills competition and involves no lottery or element of chance in the selection of winners.

Selection is based exclusively on the evaluation of participants' professional qualities, knowledge, and aptitudes, according to a structured process with several clearly defined steps:

Detailed Participation Questionnaire

Each participant completes a structured questionnaire covering, in particular:

• the candidate's overall profile (professional background, business management experience, operational skills),
• knowledge related to the products and concept of the restaurant concerned,
• knowledge of hygiene, food safety, and applicable regulations,
• entrepreneurial vision and strategic development project.

Analysis of responses by a dedicated jury

Responses are analyzed by a jury composed of 3 members appointed by the Organizer, who are experts in catering, business management, and commercial development. The jury evaluates each application against objective and predefined criteria, using a scoring grid (internal scoring scales per question). A ranking is established for each restaurant based on the results obtained in the questionnaire and the overall suitability of the candidate's profile with the concept.

Additional discussions for similar profiles

In the event of profiles deemed similar or very close in terms of scoring, the Organizer and/or the jury reserve the right to summon certain candidates for an individual interview (video conference, in-person, or other specified modality). This exchange aims to delve deeper into certain points (strategic vision, operational capacity, understanding of economic and regulatory challenges) and to fairly differentiate between candidates.

Supervision by a bailiff

The entire selection process (receipt of entries, analysis of responses, final ranking, designation of winners) is overseen by a bailiff, SCP MERCADAL 47 Bis Boulevard Michelet 78250 Hadricourt, responsible for verifying the regularity of operations and compliance with the competition rules. The bailiff draws up an official report of the selection and winner designation operations.

Sovereign decisions of the jury

The jury's decisions, made in strict compliance with the defined skill criteria, are sovereign and final. No appeal, of any nature whatsoever, may be made against the decisions of the Organizer, the jury, or the bailiff, except in the case of a manifest breach of the rules confirmed by a bailiff.

Prior to the jury's review, applications are pre-evaluated using an artificial intelligence system, focusing on professional and entrepreneurial experience, skills, motivation, coherence between the participant and the project, and, more generally, the suitability of the profile for the establishment's management requirements. This analysis establishes a ranking to determine which profiles are submitted to the Jury, which alone is competent for the final selection.

The competition allows participants to compete, through a skills-based process, for the award of the following operation for each restaurant concerned:

The opportunity to acquire 100% of the shares (social shares or stocks) of the company operating the restaurant concerned, under the conditions defined in this article.
