YOU’VE GOT KITCHEN CHALLENGES?

WE’VE GOT SOLUTIONS. 

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. 

That’s where Lesters can help.

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.  

MAKE YOUR KITCHEN WORK SMARTER 

  • Fully cooked proteins reduce prep and cooking steps. 
  • Heat-and-serve convenience makes execution easier for less experienced staff. 
  • Consistent products help deliver the same results from shift to shift. 
  • Portion-friendly formats simplify service and inventory management. 
  • Versatile proteins let you create several menu items without adding more SKUs or complicated prep. 

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. 

  • Know what you have available to serve, helping make food costing more accurate. 

Easy portion control 

  • Convenient foodservice formats make it easier to establish a consistent cost per serving. 

Less prep labour 

  • Fully cooked proteins reduce the time spent trimming, cooking, monitoring and handling raw meat. 

Less waste 

  • Vacuum-packed and portion-friendly formats help operators use what they need, when they need it. 

One product. Multiple menu applications 

  • Versatile proteins can work across breakfast, lunch and dinner — reducing the number of ingredients you need to stock while giving you more opportunities to sell it.  

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 

  • Philly Cheesesteak 
  • Korean Bibimbap 
  • Beef Stroganoff 
  • Gyros 
  • Nachos 
  • Tex-Mex Poke Bowl 
  • Ramen 
  • Asian Stir-Fry 
  • Thai Salad 

SMOKED MEAT 

  • Classic Smoked Meat Sandwich 
  • Smoked Meat Poutine 
  • Smoked Meat Pizza 
  • Smoked Meat Tacos 
  • Smoked Meat Egg Rolls

PULLED MEATS 

  • Loaded Fries 
  • Nachos 
  • Tacos 
  • Mac & Cheese 
  • Pizza 
  • Sandwiches 
  • Breakfast Poutine

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.
