Now Hiring - Sales Associate - Custom Branding Warehouse in Farmingdale, NY

Welcome to [please apply online] a Long-Island based company rooted in the hospitality industry that helps restaurants and retail shops with all of their branding needs for consumable products. Our company makes a variety of diverse resources and services that provide positive brand awareness.

What do we do, exactly?

Think about the subtle attention to detail and quality that comes with being handed a well-crafted take-out bag from your favorite restaurant. Does it have a beautiful rendering of the restaurant logo, a sturdy handle, and the ability to keep food warm or cold? Think about the wow factor of sitting down in a hip, chic eatery that provides its guests with high quality branded napkins, wet-nap pouches, chopsticks, coasters, bamboo paddle picks for bar garnishes and sandwiches, swag souvenirs, and more, all with the logo and name of the establishment clearly printed on them.

In addition to helping create these consumables through our in-house creative department, we also offer warehouse storage at our Farmingdale NY headquarters for our partners to store their purchases until they need them.

We are already partnered with more than three dozen hospitality groups and restaurants including Kashi Sushi, Meet Bar & Izakaya, Cajun Claws Seafood Boil, JBBQ & Shabu Shabu, Voodoo Crab, Aji 53, Fushimi, and Whiskey Neat, just to name a few.
