Chef quality bites for your cafe
Derek + Dan are childhood friends who started Uptaco in 2021 to bring restaurant quality casual bites to cafes, corporate offices, and spaces without kitchens. Chef Derek brings over a decade of experience running kitchens in NYC. We like to think of ourselves as your extended back-of-house, understanding that your customers are the ultimate priority. With that in mind, we invite you to keep an open line of communication so we can understand your needs and continue to evolve our service offering.
Seamless integration into your current operation
We deliver via Odeko 3 times a week, cold and refrigerated with 3 day shelf life.
Sandwiches, cups and bowls are delivered ready to go, packed, labeled, and designed to be served cold from a fridge with no labor on your end.
Tacos, burritos and wraps are packaged, labeled + ready to go but require heating because they’re delivered refrigerated. We recommend heating a batch in a convection / toaster oven (~200F for 30 mins, or until 150F internal temp) before open, and then holding in a display warmer (or one of our warmer bags which we can provide on request!). Alternatively you can open the item up and press on a panini press to order, or a turbo oven.
More than just a taco.
Tacos are in our name (and mascot!) but are certainly not all we offer. We serve breakfast cups (cherry pistachio chia overnight oats and yogurt parfait), sandwiches (Challah PBJ, Shokupan Egg Salad and Tunisian Tuna), a grain bowl, and a brand new breakfast burrito and egg white wrap!
We have options across various tolerances and dietary preferences. We are always seeking partner feedback on new items to develop, and continue to work on more offerings as we grow.
