How to buy

Set up to transact the way you already do

Purchase orders, Net-30, tax-exempt billing, and itemized quotes — the procurement mechanics handled before the first delivery.

  • Purchase orders accepted

    Send a PO and we deliver against it — no personal card, no reimbursement dance. We're set up to transact the way agencies and institutions already work.

  • Net-30 terms

    Net-30 terms for established accounts, with one consolidated invoice per billing period built for accounts payable.

  • Tax-exempt handling

    Tax-exempt billing handled correctly on file, so exempt organizations aren't charged tax they don't owe.

  • Itemized quotes & invoices

    Per-head itemized quotes and invoices with documentation to support program recordkeeping — the line-item detail your buyers and evaluators ask for.

Approved vendor

An approved food vendor for the LA County Department of Mental Health

We were competitively awarded a boxed-meal term contract by the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health — the kind of vetting most caterers never pass, and the backbone of how we serve institutions. It is on record, and the details go in your file.

Clear scope

What we do — and what we don't

We're a food-service vendor, not a facilities contractor. Knowing where our scope ends keeps the paperwork clean and the expectations right.

What we do

  • Meeting & training catering — boxed or platters, delivered

  • Recurring & daily meal programs — boxed meals at scale, per-head

  • Field & outreach kits — individually packaged, shelf-stable options

  • Halal by default, with vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free tracks

What we don’t do

  • Kitchen management or running your on-site cafeteria

  • Permanent or embedded staffing

  • Facilities, janitorial, or non-food services
