Congratulations Chef Tim!!

Chef Spotlight: Tim Jansen of Chris’ at the Docket - Sauce Magazine: Intelligent Content For The Food Fascinated Chris’ at the Docket chef Tim Jansen has worked for many great St. Louis restaurants and now works for Bartolino's Hospitality Group.

Being chef-owned changes the standard.

We think in terms of service windows, prep schedules, shelf life, and what happens when a delivery is even slightly off.

Thats why we run QA checks at multiple points and keep the cold chain tightbecause the kitchen pays for mistakes that happen upstream.

If youre evaluating distributors, well send a short checklist of what to ask any vendor about their cold chain.

Own the Plate: Every box, every call, every delivery matters.

Country club season is when small issues become big ones because volume and expectations both spike.

Our job is to keep quality consistent and deliveries reliable when it matters most.

If you're heading into your busiest stretch and want a distributor that treats food safety like a system (not a slogan), lets talk.

Comment CLUB and well reach out.

Berries dont forgive sloppy handling.

Thats why we treat them differentlydedicated colder storage and process checks before they ever hit a truck.

You shouldnt have to hope your product arrives right. You should be able to expect it.

DM us BERRIES if you want to compare notes on what proper handling should look like.
