Restaurant Branded Preserves that boost revenues and extends your local foodie brand.

Have you ever eaten a delicious starter or main course incorporating a home made chutney or preserve?

Restaurant-branded preserves are jams, marmalades, chutneys, or other preserved foods made by or for specific restaurants and sold under their brand name. These preserves typically reflect the restaurant’s culinary style, using signature ingredients or recipes that align with their menu and identity.

Restaurants often create their own preserves as a way to extend their brand experience into the home of the consumer. By offering unique, house-made preserves, they can capitalize on their reputation for high-quality or artisanal food. For example, a farm-to-table restaurant might use fresh, local fruits to create small-batch jams, while a fine-dining establishment might focus on luxurious, high-end flavors.

Popular reasons for restaurants to sell branded preserves include:

  • Brand loyalty: Fans of the restaurant get to bring a piece of their dining experience home.
  • Marketing and expansion: Branded products help to spread the restaurant’s name beyond its physical location.
  • Diversifying revenue: It provides an additional revenue stream, especially during slower business periods.
  • Gifting options: Restaurant preserves are often packaged attractively for gifting.
  • Keep Staff busy! Allocate preserve making into quiter days.

Small batches can be produced until sales are established and scaling up can be assessed.

Caterquip supply professionally reconditioned and B grade kettles which are ideal for preserve making, stocks, soups and sauces.
