Opening a new restaurant is more than just unlocking the doors and welcoming your first guests. It's an intricate dance of countless moving pieces: staff training, code compliance, interior setup, menu preparation, and perhaps most crucially, ensuring you have every single tool and supply needed to serve your customers.

The Challenge of Restaurant Launches

Restaurant owners face a daunting task when opening a new location. The coordination of supply ordering, delivery, and organization is a vital part of any NRO process. From serving utensils to cooking equipment, each item plays a vital role in the restaurant's success.

Supply management alone can be overwhelming. Imagine receiving hundreds of items — forks, plates, pans, aprons, food carts, take-out boxes — and trying to organize them efficiently while juggling other opening responsibilities. One misplaced shipment or disorganized storage area can cascade into delays and frustration, potentially impacting your opening timeline.

The Solution: The LaunchPad NRO Program

This is where TundraFMP's LaunchPad New Restaurant Opening (NRO) Program transforms chaos into clarity. With an impressive 99.9% fill rate and a proven track record of supporting over 1,000 new location openings annually, the Launchpad program has become the trusted partner for hundreds of restaurant brands nationwide.

A System Built for Success

The LaunchPad program stands out through its methodical, organized approach to restaurant supply management. Every product arrives clearly marked and packaged according to a sophisticated lettering system, accompanied by detailed checklists that make unpacking and organizing as straightforward as possible. This systematic approach eliminates guesswork and reduces time spent organizing supplies.

How LaunchPad Works

A consultation with a dedicated National Account Manager or Inside Sales Representative kickstarts the process and helps curate your store opening package. With just a 6-8 week lead time, TundraFMP coordinates every aspect of your supply delivery, ensuring everything arrives exactly when you need it.

The program includes:

Precision packaging with an intuitive lettering system
