The customer response to momo kiosk initiative encouraged the entrepreneurs to set up a 4000 sq ft mechanized manufacturing unit at J.P.Nagar Bangalore. With the available infrastructure the company decided to develop its core strength "Manufacturing" to the next level. Hence came into existence the Back End Kitchen Assistance by Master Chef's Food Ventures. This resourcefulness was developed to assist in the challenges in the industry such as manpower absenteeism and turnover, standardization of quality and wastages. Thus assisting in the production department of hotels, catering institutions, restaurant and snack shops.
Being associated with Nilgiri's Super Markets opened the avenue of selling frozen products in the retail shelves. This was to enable customers to enjoy hygienically prepared restaurant quality food at their kitchens. This led to the third type of business i.e. retail sales.
