Based in Denver, Ready Foods is a family-owned company specializing in custom food solutions. We provide expertise to scale up menu concepts with consistency and quality. Our own line of products offers menu items to smaller operations and our co-packing team can help larger chains scale up their concepts.
We offer solutions for restaurants, national and regional accounts, healthcare, community and recreation centers, educational institutions, catering, hotels and events. Contact us to learn more about how we can provide innovative kitchen solutions.
In 1972, Ready Foods was created to provide food service operators with consistent supply and quality products. Although we have grown since our first small kitchen on Colfax Avenue in Denver, the Abarca’s philosophy continues to provide a vision for each of our company initiatives.
With our current multi-facility production footprint, we stand by the integrity of our food and the collective knowledge and expertise of our workforce. We have grown Ready Foods into a medium-sized company because we have a strong company culture that promotes inclusion and respect for the dignity of all people. We are excellent at what we do and continually strive for perfection.
