RTE 99 Holdings works with food and beverage companies on the operational and commercial decisions behind bringing a product to market and running it profitably.
Start a conversationOur work tends to sit where operations and economics meet — the decisions that are inexpensive to get right early and costly to reverse later.
Evaluating options against shelf life, quality requirements, and delivered cost per unit.
Identifying, qualifying, and comparing production partners, and structuring the commercial terms that follow.
Throughput, efficiency, and labor planning for existing production.
Unit economics built from the ground up — materials, yield, labor, and overhead — rather than from a target margin backwards.
Reviewing specifications and supplier proposals, and translating them into terms a commercial team can act on.
Matching forecast volume to available capacity, and identifying where the next constraint will appear.
Engagements are structured around what the work actually requires — a single scoped question, a longer assessment, or an ongoing retainer.
Project-based work with a defined scope and fee, or an ongoing retainer where the need is continuous.
Recommendations account for what actually happens day to day, not only what the model says.
We are not compensated by third parties for referrals. Our recommendation is the whole product.
We work under a mutual NDA as a matter of course, and sign yours if you have one. Client names, formulations, costs, and supplier terms stay private.
Emerging and established food and beverage companies, and the investors who back them. Engagements range from a single question to a broader assessment.
Describe what you are working through. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and point you somewhere better. Happy to sign an NDA before you share anything sensitive.
