To the T
Your gumbo, your sauce, your plate — scaled so it is still that dish. Not “close enough.” Not a house recipe with your sticker.
What private label actually means here
You should not have to build a plant to put your name on New Orleans food.
Bring the recipe. We make it exactly — to the T — or we lock a spec with you until it is yours. Then this kitchen does the rest: cook it fresh, freeze it at peak, pack it, put your mark on it, hold it in our freezer, and ship it when you need it. Hold-and-ship is an extra fee, on purpose. The cook is one conversation. The dock is another. You market.
In this kitchen
Born in New Orleans. Made in New Orleans. Cooked fresh. Frozen at the peak. We do not send your brand to a stranger’s plant.
Packaging here
Tray, sleeve, label, hotel pan, case. The pack-out is on our floor. Your face on the carton.
It can sit here
Finished goods in our freezer. You do not need your own cold box to launch. We hold what we agree to hold.
We can send it
Grocery PO, restaurant drop, wholesale case. We pack the outbound and ship. Extra fee. That is fulfillment inside the kitchen.
Market. That’s the job.
Brand, accounts, the sell. We took the kitchen, the pack, the freezer, and the dock. You should be selling — not scrambling a co-packer.
You do not have to
Find a plant. Staff a freezer. Chase a shipper.
Most private-label stories dump you after the cook. Then you rent cold storage, hire a 3PL who does not know food, and pray the label is right. That is not this kitchen.
We do. In-house.
Recipe. Cook. Freeze. Pack. Hold. Ship.
One New Orleans kitchen. Hold-and-ship is billed so the dock is a real service, not a free afterthought. Conversation first. Then a spec, a volume, a hold rate, a ship rate.
Who this is for
A grocer. A hotel. A chef with a name and no plant.
Store brand in the freezer aisle. Hotel pans with their mark. A New Orleans cook who can sell but should not have to run a factory. Same offer: we take the work. You take the brand to market.
The doors it ships through
Your name. Their warmer, their shelf, their case.
Grocery & wholesale
Frozen case pack. Your label. We can hold and ship to the DC or the independent when the PO lands.
Line Ready
Restaurants and hotels: your recipes in hotel pans. They heat and hold. You sold the program. We cooked it. Line Ready.
Catering trays
Your brand on the pan a captain can work. Same kitchen. Different pack.
