Ready-to-heat prepared meals and ingredients in private label. From recipe to packaging in 3 weeks. No minimum order constraints, margins above category average.

3 wks

Time-to-shelf

From initial brief to reference ready for shelf. Includes recipe development, panel testing, packaging design, technical specifications and sampling.

Flexible batches

Lower minimums than the industry average. Start with a pilot batch to validate the market, scale when the numbers justify it.

Engineered margins

Every SKU is co-developed with the client. Formulation, format, pricing: we optimize every variable at the design stage to build the margin you need, not a catalog number.

Complete references, from recipe to facing.

Every RtS product is born as its own project. You define the price positioning and brand identity. We handle everything else.

Ready-to-heat prepared meals in single and family portions — main courses, side dishes, soups, bowls. Formats tailored to your target: convenience, premium, organic, high-protein.
Ready-to-heat ingredients — sauces, seasonings, recipe bases for quick meals. The end consumer composes the dish, you command the category.
Customised packaging — trays, pouches, sleeves. Graphic design included in development, consistent with your visual identity on shelf.
Complete documentation — technical specifications, nutritional labels, allergen statements, shelf life studies. Ready for listing.
From concept to shelf in 4 phases.

Brief & concept

You define the target, price positioning, format. We assess industrial feasibility, target cost and shelf potential.

Prototyping

Our R&D laboratory produces the first samples. Internal panel testing, adjustments to organoleptic profile, validation of expected shelf life.

Packaging & compliance

Packaging design, compliant labelling, technical specifications. Final samples ready for buyer presentation.

Production & distribution

Launches in real volumes, with flexible delivery schedules. Monitored rotation, seasonal reference renewal, continuous adaptation to sell-out performance.

Private label without private label complexity.

The traditional model forces you to negotiate with rigid copacker partners, accept high minimums and wait months for a launch. RtS inverts this logic.

Assortment agility. Launch seasonal references, limited editions or tests with no volume commitment. Withdraw underperforming items, strengthen what works.
Distinctive identity. Exclusive recipes, not reformulations from a catalogue. The consumer perceives uniqueness, not a generic "equivalent" of the brand leader.
Protected margins. Just-in-time production reduces unsold stock. No overstock, no forced promotional pressure to clear inventory.
Speed of response. A trend emerges? In 3 weeks you have the reference on shelf. With a traditional copacker, it takes 4-6 months.

Built to Perform.
