The Butcher's Kitchen

What The Butcher's Kitchen does

The Butcher's Kitchen is a Dutch B2B foodservice company, founded around 2019-2020 and headquartered in Maarssen, Netherlands, that supplies prepared, pre-cooked meat products and broths to the hospitality industry. Its core operations run from an FSSC22000-certified production kitchen using sous vide cooking alongside traditional boiling, baking, and grilling methods, enabling consistent portion-controlled output across beef, pork, poultry, lamb, and broth categories. The product portfolio spans roughly fifty SKUs, including prepared cuts, sausages, pulled meats, Asian-cuisine preparations (ramen broths, char sui, rendang, Japanese duck), and a tasting/proefpakket onboarding flow. Custom recipe development with exclusivity contracts and a minimum 50 kg production threshold is offered for larger accounts.

Revenue is generated through direct B2B sales of prepared meat products and bouillons to restaurants, hotels, caterers, Asian-cuisine operators, hospitality wholesalers, and chains, with own-fleet delivery on location at customer-specified volumes. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a documented pass-through clause on meat price increases above 5%. The go-to-market is sales-led: consultation, sample/tasting packages, trial batches, then scaled production. Delivery currently covers the Netherlands, France, Germany, and Italy. The company is privately held, with no disclosed institutional funding, and reports headcount in the 11-50 band.
