Our Philosophy: More Than a Supplier, We Are Your Strategic Partner

In the demanding world of modern foodservice, consistency, quality, and innovation are not just goals; they are requirements for survival and growth. At DS Ofood, we have built our company on the principle that our clients’ success is our success. We move beyond the traditional supplier relationship to become a deeply integrated part of your culinary and operational team. Our process begins not with a product catalog, but with a conversation—a deep dive into your menu, your brand identity, your operational workflow, and your vision for the future. Our dedicated team of account managers, food scientists, and culinary experts works collaboratively with you to identify challenges and uncover opportunities, ensuring the solutions we provide are not just effective, but perfectly aligned with your business.

Our Foundation: Heartland Quality and Uncompromising Safety

Nestled in the heart of America’s protein heartland, our dual facilities in Schleswig, IA, and Omaha, NE, provide a distinct strategic advantage. This proximity gives us direct access to the highest-grade American beef, pork, and poultry, ensuring every product begins with an exceptional raw material.

• Schleswig, Iowa: Our Schleswig facility is a powerhouse of production, specializing in high-volume runs of our signature marinated products, ensuring absolute consistency for our large-scale national partners.
• Omaha, Nebraska: Our Omaha hub serves as our center for logistics and innovation. Here, our Research & Development lab transforms culinary concepts into reality, conducting pilot runs and creating the custom formulations that set our partners apart.

These state-of-the-art, USDA-inspected facilities are the bedrock of our commitment to food safety. We operate under rigorous, fully implemented HACCP plans and hold ourselves to the highest standards of sanitation and quality assurance, including SQF certification. From meticulous raw material inspection to advanced processing technology and full product traceability, we provide our partners with the invaluable peace of mind that comes from unwavering food safety.

Our Craft: Signature Flavors and Custom Solutions

We offer a powerful combination of market-ready signature products and bespoke custom processing.

Our signature line provides an immediate solution for menu expansion. This includes our authentic Korean-style Bulgogi, featuring tender, thinly sliced beef in a perfectly balanced marinade of savory soy sauce, aromatic garlic, and sesame oil. These proven, ready-to-cook products allow any kitchen to execute complex global dishes flawlessly and consistently.

Our true passion lies in turning your culinary vision into a market-ready reality. Our custom processing capabilities are comprehensive:

1. Ideation & Consultation: We work with your culinary team to define the flavor profile, texture, cut, and performance characteristics of your desired product.
2. Benchtop Development: Our food scientists craft initial samples in our R&D lab, refining the recipe until it perfectly matches your vision.
3. Scaling & Pilot Testing: We produce a pilot batch to ensure the product performs consistently at scale in a real-world kitchen environment.
4. Full-Scale Production: Once approved, we integrate your custom product into our production schedule, providing a seamless supply chain solution from our dock to your door.
