Success Stories
Elevating Fresh Salads for a National Retailer
A major U.S. grocery chain approached us to revamp their underperforming private-label salad line. Our culinary and product development teams collaborated closely with their buyers and marketing staff to identify flavor gaps, streamline ingredients, and modernize the packaging.
We created a new line of chef-curated salads using high-quality ingredients like hand-cut vegetables, grilled proteins, and house-made dressings. The result? A complete relaunch that led to a 35% year-over-year increase in sales and the product line becoming a top category performer within three months.
On-the-Go Wraps for a Fast-Casual Café Chain
A West Coast café chain needed fresh, portable menu items that matched their brand’s commitment to clean eating and bold flavors. After several collaborative tasting sessions, we co-developed a series of wraps featuring hormone-free meats, fresh vegetables, and globally inspired sauces.
The wraps were rolled out across all their locations with seasonal limited-time options to keep menus fresh. Within six months, the wraps accounted for 22% of all lunch sales, with strong customer feedback and repeat purchases driving continued growth.
