Testimonials
Most restaurant companies today are
paring down their own R&D departments thus depending on outside companies to perform
the R&D, optimization, QC and to some degree, the procurement functions. Having worked
with IFD, Kagome, Inc. has been able to maximize each of these functions to the benefit of
our mutual customer.
Time is money and IFD made the
best use of our time and theirs to move us through the development stage(s) in order to
see our project reach mutual satisfaction by our customer. We were impressed by their
willingness to work odd hours, Saturdays - whatever it took to get the job done. We look
forward to working on other projects which ultimately provide value to the customer.

I'd like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the positive
and mutually beneficial relationship your firm and Newly Weds have experienced, I believe,

many years to come.

Our quality assurance program has kept our food safe and provided excellent consistency
in food quality.
Out sourcing our quality assurance to a third party has saved us over four million
dollars in insurance claims in 1997.

Our relationship with IFD has been excellent. They have become a valuable asset in
achieving our Product Development, Quality Assurance and Purchasing objectives. In
addition, their expertise has been useful in other areas such as Training, Risk Management
and Operations.
Their keen understanding of the restaurant industry and knowledge of food manufacturing
has been a powerful combination that yielded cost savings, the development of secondary
suppliers, and new products. Our investment with IFD has been one of the best business
decisions we have made.

For several years, IFD has taken care of the Quality Assurance and Product Improvement
for one of our major customers. As an ally they have helped us to better understand the
needs of the customer, an asset in helping us be a more creative supplier, and as a true
partner in becoming the best manufacturer we can be.
Over the last couple of years we have worked with IFD on several projects from
improving packaging to product improvement development. Their attention to details, follow
through and sense of urgency is outstanding.
