Our History 6 ABOUT US

Our individual stories begin with many of us in operations, as K-12 industry professionals, or working roles within child nutrition programs. We came together as a company through a demand for our consulting services four years ago. In the beginning we provided professional development, keynote speakers, IT consulting, and marketing support to school districts, associations, and foodservice manufacturers nationwide. In 2020 the pandemic changed the trajectory of the F&B industry and brought with it new challenges. The first issue we tackled was the problem quarantine posed with its inability for industry members and operators to be face to face. Our solution was First Taste TV TM which reached over 850K viewers. We are constantly looking for ways to serve, problem solve, innovate, and disrupt. First Tate TVTM led to From the Show Floor which enabled manufacturers to connect with operators at the regional level as well as provide services and support for state associations. This was shortly followed by Served Digizine , our communication platform for distributing rich media and an interactive solution for providing our partners with the ability to better engage with their audience using higher quality, more innovative content, while increasing ROI. After hearing countless times that high performing operators weren’t receiving the professional development and networking opportunities they needed to grow, we created LINQ’D UP which evolved into Ignite . We’ve partnered with likes of Tyson, Land O’ Lakes, Simplot, LINQ, J.T.M., Vulcan, Eaton Marketing and others to provide excitable edutainment and networking experiences for food service operators regardless of their vertical or experience level. Fast forward a few projects and enter Next Up . Next Up is a new kind of talk show and podcast that focuses on thought leadership. It creates awareness of important matters to the industry and the ability of real time viewer interaction both virtually and in person. This is our answer to the need of providing leaders with a platform to reach the masses and be a positive influence for change.

In 2024 and beyond we plan to continue what was started through new innovation, more collaboration, and eyes fixed on the future. Where are we headed next? We promise it won’t disappoint.
