Markee & Associates Is At Your Service

For Markee and Associates, Quality, Integrity, and Transparency are essentials to how we conduct our day-to-day business. There is just no other way.

M&A is a Foodservice & Bakery Equipment Manufacturer Representative. We strive our best to do things right the first time, every time for our clients. 

Our backgrounds are varied and include – Food and Beverage Operations Management; Hotel Development, Procurement, & Franchising; Food Facility Design & Business Consulting; Culinary Operations; Foodservice & Bakery Equipment Sales & Marketing.

Markee and Associates have been on our client’s side of life more often than not. Having been there, we understand exactly what makes them tick. Especially their headwinds and challenges. We know why they need what they need, when they need it.

Our team has spent serious time in-the-trenches. Frankly, not a lot surprises us. Like in a commercial foodservice when on an insanely busy Saturday night a piece of your key, loaded-up equipment just stops working, two dishwashers are a no-show, your prep team didn’t even come close to matching real customer head counts now in your restaurant, both your sous chef and line expeditor are sitting down in the corner with the chills… Ticket times are skyrocketing and people losing their you-know-what. And your guest line with dinner reservations (and after dinner reservations..) is growing out the door on a very cold and rainy night… No problem. We get it. Boy do we. And why our products must not just perform, but perform consistently or has been suggested to us, religiously… 

Our own experiences build a much better understanding with our clients. We understand where their bar is set. We do not even have to ask why. We want to make a foodservice person’s life working in a kitchen a lot better because frankly we know just how bad a kitchen can be on a person. We have taken the place of those dishwashers more than once…

Right from the beginning we get to work getting on the same page as our client. We listen very closely to what is being said, as well as not being said. We evaluate. We think. We remember… Then, we propose what we see as possibly good solutions based upon our experience. It’s not always easy or pleasant sometimes because sometimes the solutions are like a spoonful of medicine.. Nonetheless, we keep it real and transparent.

Today, everyone is crushed for time. Time is money. We get to the point. Quicky. We ask for budgets up front in the beginning of the conversations. Money is money, and the sooner you bring it into the discussion the better. We present smart options. Have an intelligent discussion. And we never ever shy away from the budget because that is where the rubber meets the road.  

Who are our clients? All kinds of people – Foodservice and Bakery End-Users; Multiple-Unit Regional and National Chain Operators; Hotels; Restaurants; Untraditional Foodservices, (but perhaps soon-to-be traditional..) such as Food Trucks, Ghost Kitchens, Remote Fulfillment Spaces; Turnpike; Recreational Operators; Caterers; Retail; Wholesale; Production/Commissary Bakeries; Senior Living & Healthcare; K-12 Schools; Colleges & Universities; Foodservice Operating Companies; Spoke & Hub; Airlines “On-The-Go” Mobile Foodservices; Commissaries; Food Plants; Supermarkets & Grocery Stores; Convenience Stores..
