Markee & Associates Is At Your Service

“Quality is not what happens when what you do matches your intentions. It is what happens when what you do matches your customer’s expectations.”

Peter F. Drucker

At Markee & Associates, Quality and Integrity is paramount to how we conduct our business.

We are a Foodservice + Bakery Equipment manufacturer representative agency.

Our collective backgrounds include – Food & Beverage Operations Management, Hotel Development & Franchising, Food Facility Design + Business Consulting, Culinary Operations, & Foodservice + Bakery Equipment Sales & Marketing. This with foodservice and hotel operators, foodservice consultants, manufacturers, and other foodservice rep agencies.

We have been on our customer’s side more often than not. Therefore, we inherently understand their goals and requirements, and just as much, their headwinds and challenges. In short, we know first-hand why they need what they need, when they need it.

Our Markee and Associates Team have spent time “in-the-trenches”. Like an insanely busy Saturday nights in a kitchen when equipment stops working, the dishwasher is a no-show, prep did not match guest orders, with ticket times skyrocketing, and people losing their you-know-what.. Time spent “in-the-trenches and “in the weeds”. No experience like that builds better an understanding and helps us form a basis for connecting with our customer.

Having been there and having done that creates an immediate bond with our customer. You both immediately speak the same language. Sometimes it can be just a look or a glance. This all expedites your fact finding and qualification. This really makes us want to do a better job for our customer and their employees making their operation as humane and efficient as possible. 

Right out-of-the-blocks, we get on the same page as our customer. We listen closely to what is being said as well as not being said. We evaluate, then we propose what we see as best courses upon our experiences. It is not always easy or pleasant. We have to keep it real. There is not always just “one best solution”. We look at our products and services to suggest where we may help our customer. And frankly, if we don’t have the right solution, no problem. We are happy to make other recommendations for other people and products that will help our customer.

Today, everyone is pressed for time. In fact, crushed. Time is money. We get to the point. Present smart options. Have an intelligent discussion. And yes, never ever shy away from the budget as it is always part of the discussion.
