Markee & Associates Is At Your Service

Meeting our clients expectations is essential to how we conduct our day-to-day business. There is just no other way.

M&A is a Foodservice & Bakery Equipment Manufacturer Representative 

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

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

Our team has spent time “in-the-trenches”. Not a lot surprises us. Such as in a commercial foodservice when on an insanely busy Saturday night a key piece of loaded-up equipment just decides to stop working.. or your only two dishwashers both are a no-show.. or your prep team didn’t even come close to matching real customer head counts now in your lobby.. or both your sous chef and line-expeditor are sitting down in the corner with the chills…

Ticket times are skyrocketing. People losing their you-know-what. Your guest line with confirmed dinner reservations (and after dinner reservations..) is growing out the door on a cold and rainy night…

No problem. We get it. And why our advice and products must not just perform, but be best solutions for our client.

You should not represent or sell foodservice or bakery equipment unless you have worked a kitchen. That is the only way to understand how important your involvement with your client will be getting it right.  

We know how bad a kitchen can be and how tough that makes an employee’s life.

Right from the beginning we get on the same page as our client. We listen closely to what is being said, as well as not being said. Then, we get things moving forward proposing what we see as good solutions, again based upon our experiences. 

Today, everyone is crushed for time. Time is money. We get to the point. Quicky. We always ask for a client’s budget up front in the beginning of the conversations. To not do so is irresponsible to the client. Money is money, and the sooner you bring it into the discussion the better.

We have to present smart options. Have an intelligent discussion. Things can even get spirited at times. All the better. And again, we never ever shy away from the budget because that is where the rubber meets the road.
