Punto Express

What Punto Express does

Punto Express is a privately held, founder-led (Pola Arriagada Sotomayor) food services company headquartered in Puerto Varas, Los Lagos, Chile, that delivers integrated catering and food supply solutions to corporate and industrial clients in southern Chile. Its service portfolio comprises five core lines: Casinos de Alimentación (managed corporate cafeterias), Delivery de Colaciones (B2B meal and snack box delivery to workplaces), Centro de Distribución (raw material and provision supply to remote sites and maritime fleets), Suministro a Flotas Marítimas (fleet provisioning), and the Cook&Chill system — a centralized cooking, rapid-cooling, and freezing technology that enables meal regeneration on-site at remote mining, energy, forestry, and construction operations without requiring client-side kitchens.

The underlying technology stack combines the Cook&Chill preservation and regeneration system, real-time monitoring of temperatures, logistics routes, and sanitary control points, integrated inventory management applications, a customer-facing order management and reporting platform, demand forecasting algorithms for consumption and seasonality, and an internally developed HACCP-based quality assurance system with a dedicated quality department. These tools support food safety traceability, waste reduction, and consistent quality across distributed client sites.

The business model is B2B managed services and recurring supply contracts, with revenue generated through managed corporate cafeteria engagements, recurring meal delivery subscriptions, and per-contract supply arrangements for remote sites and maritime fleets. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are custom-built per client volume and service scope. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct — enterprise and mid-market accounts are acquired through field sales, a website contact funnel ([email protected]), and presence at regional industry events such as Aquasur and the Feria de Inocuidad. The company employs 51–100 people, sources locally from regional producers, and emphasizes sustainability and circular-economy practices as part of its value proposition.
