Built for service

Crunch That Earns Its Place

Our ready-to-use toppings are operationally easy, visually strong, and made for the pace of foodservice.

More capacity. Faster reach.

In 2026 we’re expanding with a new 617,000 square foot production and distribution facility in Whiteland, Indiana. This strengthens our national network and enhances our reliability, service, and shipping for our growing customers.

High impact, low effort.

Make dishes more craveable

Crunch is contrast. Add it to creamy, tender, or saucy foods and the whole dish feels more dynamic, more satisfying, more memorable, more worth ordering again.

Create fresh cues

Toppings are multisensory. That audible bite signals freshness and quality. It’s a simple way to make menu items feel modern and intentional.

Add value without adding labor

Our toppings are shelf-stable and ready to use, which means no prep, no refrigeration. For a few cents per serving, you add texture, visual finish, and perceived value without slowing down the line.

We used to fry tortilla strips in-house, but switching to Fresh Gourmet Tri-Color Tortilla Strips made service faster and more consistent. Guests loved the crunch, and I can’t believe we didn’t make the 
change sooner.

Menu creation

Keep your 
menu moving

The easiest way to keep guests curious is to give familiar dishes a fresh “next time I’ll try that” twist. Our toppings help add contrast, texture, and flavor in seconds so you can build new limited-time ideas, refresh core items, and create seasonal spins without reinventing your kitchen. 

They’re designed to hold up beautifully across dine-in, pickup, and delivery, and portion-control options make it simple to deliver the same finish every time
