Kurt and his team love
authentic food
products.
Just like
you.
How Kurt's story is also your story
Small shopkeeper or passionate producer? I have years of experience on both sides. And also in between as an exporter. 'This always the craft and the pride that drives me. But like you, I feel that today it is the big players who dictate the game. I personally experienced all the obstacles you have as a producer to get your products noticed by retailers. And I also saw the difficulties of proud retailers to stand out among the big boys.
The existing middleman? They don't give us what we're looking for. Many family businesses yearn for a model that adds passion instead of squeezing it out.
Together now with KairosFood, we are making sure that our passion becomes our asset stronger than ever. I bring producers into direct contact with retailers. At the same time, the platform relieves you of a lot of work that would otherwise be involved in such direct contact. Working more profitably and with more pleasure. That is what we are doing here together.
Kurt Mortier,
founder van de KairosFood-community
Based on passion and pride
For some time now, the game that big players in the food industry play hasn't been about the love of good products.
Together, we ensure that our passion for taste becomes our trump card more than ever. After all, there's nothing without passion. Right?
Tailored to small and medium-sized businesses
We love direct contact between proud retailers and producers with passion.
We therefore make this simpler, cheaper and more effective. No wholesaler does so much work for you. Enjoy margins that will make you smile again.
Human to human
Food retail must remain human. KairosFood is a platform with data and automation. Making it efficient for you.
And yet we remain an approachable team of people, dedicated to enabling retailers and producers to grow together.
25 years of experience (and that now pays off for you, too)
What do you get when you combine the experience of an independent retailer with that of a small or medium-sized food producer? Also add to that the expertise of an importer/exporter of delicious specialities. The result is KairosFood.
Based on passion
Founder Kurt Mortier is the grandson of a butcher and a baker. He has also started up several food companies. That experience comes together in KairosFood. Kurt is a genuine product developer. He was passionate about making homemade pate, meat preparations and very tasty hummus. But he often found himself in situations where this passion was squeezed out of the business. As were the margins...
Solution for healthier margins
Too small to be big, but too big to be small. Sounds familiar? You have to follow the rules of the game set by the wholesalers (which add very little) and the major producers (who prefer working with large stores). And then you have to compete against very large stores that sell the same as you, but cheaper. Small and medium-sized producers can't play all their aces with the shop chains either.
Direct contact from human to human
Kurt found the solution in direct contact between proud Benelux retailers and authentic producers from across Europe. This usually entails lots of extra work, including a whole mountain of documents. That is why Kurt and his team built KairosFood. The platform automates the tedious tasks, meaning you can work more efficiently and with healthier margins. And yet that human and direct contact is still very important. Certainly with authentic products.
Seize the moment
In Greek mythology, Kairos was the son of Zeus, the king of the gods. He is the personification of the right time to get something done. You can seize that moment too with KairosFood. It's the time to make your passion your business's trump card more than ever before.
