Running a food service operation has never been more demanding. Labour is tight. Food costs matter more than ever. And customers are always looking for something new.
For 95 years, we’ve been helping foodservice operators serve great-tasting food with products designed for the realities of a professional kitchen: consistent quality, easy preparation, predictable yields and endless menu possibilities.
SHORT ON STAFF?
LESS PREP. FEWER STEPS. GREAT RESULTS.
When every minute — and every pair of hands — counts, simplifying kitchen operations can make a big difference.
Many Lesters foodservice products are fully cooked and ready to heat and serve, helping reduce prep time, training requirements and operational complexity. Shaved steak and pulled meats, for example, can go from package to plate with minimal handling and can be reheated on equipment already found in most kitchens.

PRODUCTS THAT DO MORE OF THE WORK FOR YOU :
Shaved Beef Steak
Fully cooked and ready to reheat. Use it for Philly-style sandwiches, bowls, wraps, stir-fries, poutines, breakfast dishes and more. Its 1.5 kg foodservice format also makes portion and cost control easier.

Texas Style Pulled Smoked Beef Brisket
Fully cooked, nicely shredded and ready to heat and serve. With no sauce added, operators can easily adapt it to their own flavour profile.

Pulled Montreal Smoked Meat
Authentic Montreal smoked meat flavour without the labour of handling and slicing a whole brisket. The convenient 1 kg format can be reheated in a microwave, steam table, flat top or oven. Its made from the actual brisket and not from scraps.

LOOKING TO INCREASE PROFITS?
GET MORE FROM EVERY PORTION.
Profitability isn’t just about what you pay per case. Yield, labour, waste, portion control and versatility all affect your true food cost.
Lesters products are designed to help operators get more predictable results from the products they purchase.
For example, raw meats can lose approximately *20–25% of their weight during cooking**. With fully cooked products, that cooking shrink has already occurred — helping operators know what they are buying and what they can actually serve.

MORE CONTROL. LESS WASTE.
Easy portion control
Less prep labour
Less waste
One product. Multiple menu applications
ONE PRODUCT CAN WORK HARDER ACROSS YOUR MENU
For example, Lesters Shaved Beef Steak can become:
Philly Cheesesteak • Beef Poutine • Breakfast Bowl • Beef Tacos • Loaded Nachos • Steak Pizza • Stir-Fry • Wrap • Beef Dip • Pasta
Same protein. Different dayparts. Different price points. More opportunities to turn inventory into sales.
CONSISTENCY ISN’T JUST ABOUT QUALITY.
IT’S ABOUT KNOWING WHAT EVERY PLATE WILL COST YOU.

NEED FRESH MENU IDEAS?
ONE PRODUCT. DOZENS OF POSSIBILITIES.
Adding variety to your menu doesn’t have to mean adding complexity to your kitchen.
Lesters’ versatile proteins can be used across sandwiches, poutines, bowls, pizzas, wraps, breakfast dishes, nachos, tacos and more, giving operators an easy way to refresh menus or create limited-time offers using ingredients already in the kitchen.
START WITH THE PROTEIN. THEN MAKE IT YOURS.
SHAVED STEAK
SMOKED MEAT
PULLED MEATS
Because the pulled products come without sauce, operators can add their own seasoning, sauce or signature flavour profile, making one protein work across multiple menu concepts.
WATCH. GET INSPIRED. MAKE IT YOURS.
