Is your menu ready for the World Cup rush? ⚽

June 11 kickoff. July 19 final. 39 straight days of traffic.

The winning lineup: loaded nachos and fries (60–80% margins), shareable Match Day Platters, and rotating LTOs — all built on steam-table-ready queso, salsa, and seasoned beans. No kitchen overhaul needed.

That's exactly what Ready Foods is built for.

Smash burgers are up 22% on menus nationwide — and the momentum shows no signs of slowing down.

It's easy to see why. Crispy edges, bold flavors, and a format that delivers strong perceived value and margins that actually work.

The build doesn't have to be complicated. A bold, reliable cheese sauce as your base makes it that much easier to run one consistently.

Sometimes the smartest menu moves are the simplest ones. Ready to add a smash burger to your lineup? Request a sample of our steam-table-ready cheese sauces and see how easy it can be. Use the link to request a sample! https://na2.hubs.ly/H05Vdgc0

We are so grateful for our partnership with Salud Family Health! Twice a year their mobile health unit comes directly to our facilities, reaching an average of 100 employees across all of our plant locations. These visits promote preventive care, reduce the need for more costly emergency services, and most importantly — show our teammates that their health matters. Thank you, Salud Family Health, for your dedication to our people and our community.

This week, our team had the opportunity to tour Royal Crest Dairy — one of our trusted suppliers for milk and cream here at Ready Foods.

This year, we made the switch to receiving our milk and cream in reusable 300-gallon totes. Seeing the process firsthand and gaining a deeper understanding of how it all comes together was incredibly valuable. We also got to hear more about the other sustainability initiatives Royal Crest has in place — a great reminder of the importance of knowing where your ingredients come from and who you are partnering with.

A big thank you to the Royal Crest Dairy team for having us — we truly appreciate the time and hospitality. Proud to work with suppliers who share our commitment to doing things the right way.

What an incredible week in Chicago!

The Ready Foods team had such a great time at the National Restaurant Association Show — connecting with industry leaders, catching up with valued partners, and meeting so many new faces across the restaurant and foodservice space. Events like this remind us why we love what we do.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our Booth and took the time to connect with our team.

If we didn't get a chance to connect at the show — it's not too late! We'd love to learn more about your business and explore how Ready Foods can support your menu.

This week, some members of our Ready Foods Green Team spent some time giving back to the community with a Park Hill park cleanup. Small actions, real impact — and a great excuse to get outside with good people.

Happy Cinco de Mayo from the Ready Foods team!

One of the biggest traffic days of the year deserves a menu that's ready. Try this simple operator hack — mash fresh avocado, fold in Ready Foods salsa, and you've got fresh, flavorful guacamole in minutes. No complicated recipe, just great results on a high-volume day.

Last Thursday, we hosted our inaugural First Bites, New Beginnings dinner with our newest Ready Foods teammates. An evening designed to connect personally, celebrate culture, creativity, and craft, and build the kind of early relationships that matter.

Our R&D team brought the culinary talent to the table with a delicious, curated menu featuring Ready Foods products — and it did not disappoint.

This is what welcoming our newest teammates the Ready Foods way looks like, and we're making it a quarterly tradition.

To everyone who joined us Thursday night — welcome to the team. We're glad you're here.
