Creating a unique branded sauce is a way to set your menu items apart from the competition. For a quick start to creating your own exclusive sauce line up, we offer 16 quick and easy recipes.

Stainless Steel Ramekins for Sauces Promote Sustainability

A major consumer concern is the mountains of packaging waste adding up with the growth of take-out and delivery orders since the coronavirus outbreak. By investing in stainless steel ramekins, operators send a positive message when providing condiments in ramekins for dine-in customers. Texas Pete® offers pumps for gallon jugs that makes back-of-house filling of ramekins easy.

Portion Control Packets as Contact-Free Condiments

Whether they are for delivery and take-out, catering or dine-in, portion control (PCs) offer customers a feeling that the condiments you provide are contact-free. The Texas Pete® brand is the fastest growing hot sauce brand in both dollar and unit sales in retail*. Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce PCs are offered by some of the nation’s top chains so you know your customers will know and love our brand. CHA! by Texas Pete® Sriracha Sauce and ¡SABOR! by Texas Pete® Mexican-Style Hot Sauce PCs offer variety for your menu or cuisine.
