I will assume you have done all your food cost analysis and test marketing,as well as a foolproof recipe. 1) Rent a commissary/ghost kitchen,this is what my tenants have in my old shop.You can rent by the hour/day/weekly or long term. Biggest disadvantage to this,is you have to produce the product yourself but you have total control of all aspects from start to finish 2)Co pack company Find a co pack company that specializes in sauces and you sign an agreement with them to produce and bottle your salsa. Although this is a much more expensive way to take your product to market,you don’t have to supply the labour and it’s easier to predict your cost per unit. I think I need to start smaller and get some online sales and feedback going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is, they don't. I know you are also a fan of The Foods That Built America. The difference is all those entrepreneurs brought something completely different to the market. Salsa is not new or unique. It is everywhere. Something that Pace sells for $2.38 (16 ounces) will likely cost you double or triple to produce, so you would have to sell at a ridiculously high price like $12 for a small jar. Not sure people will want to spend top dollar on an unknown king salsa product. Do you plan to grow your own tomatoes, peppers, and spices? How much do you think it will cost you to produce a 16 ounce jar of the stuff you made? I’ll need a year shelf like and produce in summer when tomato prices are low. McDonald’s doesn’t grow their own potato’s I don’t think I need to become a tomato farmer. The salsa isn’t exactly thin. I good 15% of the product is gonna be water to get to desired consistency.

housepicks Posted November 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Salsa outsellls ketchup. I think people are looking to get away from the pace type stuff. There is a very large salsa section in my hometown grocer and I live in a very white town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you aren't using fresh home grown vegetables and spices then what will set you apart from the 1000s of others on the market? Even the Relish King grew his own product. Either way, I'll probably buy a case from you if price isn't outrageous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
