About Back of House Basics
At Back of House Basics, we believe eating is one of life’s greatest joys. The flavor, the creativity, the comfort — food brings people together. But as anyone who has ever worked in a kitchen knows, making food isn’t always joyful. Whether you're prepping in a bustling restaurant or managing an industrial food production line, the back of house comes with a unique set of challenges.
That’s why we started BoH
With years of industry experience across restaurants, food manufacturing, R&D labs, and warehouses, we created Back of House Basics to take what we’ve learned and use it to help others in the industry. Our mission is to save you time, money, and stress so you can keep on cooking.
BoH is built around what we call the Basics. Sure, the name sounds like kitchen essentials (and we like that), but it’s also about values. These are the simple, foundational things we believe every company should be built on. They’re not just marketing buzzwords. They’re the standards we hold ourselves to every day.
The BoH Basics
Value
We believe quality shouldn’t be limited by size. That’s why we work directly with large manufacturers to buy high-quality product in bulk, then pass those savings on to you. Whether we ship to you directly or through your preferred distributor, you’ll get excellent product at excellent prices.
For smaller kitchens that can’t meet large minimum order quantities (MOQs), we make bulk accessible without compromising quality. We also offer smart packaging options, like BIB (bag-in-box) for herbs and spices, that reduce waste and save you money.
Consistency
Consistency is key in any kitchen, and we take that seriously. From product quality (including custom blends) to customer service and delivery, we focus on creating a smooth and reliable experience every time. No surprises, no headaches. Just what you asked for, how and when you asked for it.
Flexibility
We’ve worked in mom-and-pop diners, Forbes 5-star restaurants, food manufacturing, and R&D, so we understand that every kitchen is different. At BoH, we adapt to your space, your team, and your goals. Whether it's custom packaging, specific volumes, or specialty blends, we’re ready to meet your needs.
Integrity
This one’s simple. We’re honest, upfront, and easy to work with. You can count on us to give it to you straight, every time. We treat your business the way we’d want ours to be treated. Integrity matters, and we don’t compromise on it.

We started BoH because we saw a gap. Too many suppliers miss the mark on one or more of the Basics. We’re here to be the company that gets them right. With a customer-first approach and a deep respect for the work happening in every kitchen, Back of House Basics is focused on what matters most.
The Basics. The way it should be.
