Snap Gourmet Foods

What Snap Gourmet Foods does

Snap Gourmet Foods is a Cleveland, Ohio-based food manufacturer and co-manufacturer founded in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic by majority partners Jason Chamoun, Allan Lam, and Lincoln Yee — veterans of the food industry who previously founded Symba Brand Solutions and International Food Solutions. The company operates a USDA-inspected production facility spanning more than 40,000 square feet in a designated Cleveland food desert, with capability to produce wrapped sandwiches, pizzas, hand-held foods, and items packaged in clear sealed bags. Its stated mission is to provide healthy, quality packaged meal solutions that address food insecurity, and it explicitly prefers locally sourced ingredients.

The company operates four interlocking product and service lines: (1) co-manufacturing of packaged food products for third-party food brands using its USDA-inspected facility; (2) branded packaged meals, meal kits, and sandwiches in shelf-stable, refrigerated, and frozen formats targeted at K-12 schools, foodbanks, and aging agencies for hunger-relief use; (3) pre-plating foodservice solutions for private schools, preschools, and corporate cafeterias; and (4) full-service catering for offsite events ranging from 20 to 1,000 attendees, offering Italian, Latin, Asian, and other cuisines with gluten-free and vegan accommodations. Distribution is positioned as nationwide for the packaged meal lines, with the catering and pre-plating foodservice lines serving local and regional institutional clients.

The business generates revenue through product sales to institutional customers, co-manufacturing fees from third-party food brands, foodservice contracts with schools and corporate cafeterias, and per-event catering engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company markets primarily through a Wix-hosted website (snapgourmetfoods.com) and a Facebook page, with direct sales outreach to institutional buyers including dedicated request-for-information forms for summer feeding programs. Headcount is reported at 51–100 employees. No institutional funding, external investors, or financial metrics are disclosed in available sources.
