Now accepting early access — restaurants & caterers
Brigader is a B2B marketplace connecting fine dining kitchens with excess prep-stage ingredients — mis-cuts, overorders, and daily trim — to budget caterers and food trucks who know quality when they taste it.
Two sides of the kitchen
Turn trim into revenue
Your garde manger produces high-quality surplus every service. Mis-cuts, overorders, and daily trim are too good to compost — and too small to keep. Brigader connects you with buyers who want exactly what you have.
Zero extra work
Submit your daily surplus in under two minutes after service. We handle matching, logistics coordination, and payment. You keep your kitchen running; we handle the rest.
Reduce food waste
The average fine dining kitchen discards 15–20% of its prep volume. Brigader captures that value for your bottom line — and for the environment.
Chef-grade quality, wholesale prices
Fine dining kitchens source from the best suppliers. When they over-order Wagyu trim or have surplus heritage pork, you get access to product your clients will taste the difference in — at a fraction of retail.
Daily inventory, fresh every time
Unlike frozen distributors, Brigader lists fresh, day-of surplus. Build flexible menus around what's available and stop paying premium for product you could source smarter.
Verified restaurant partners
Every source kitchen is vetted. You always know provenance, handling conditions, and cut specs before you buy. No surprises at pickup.
How it works
Restaurants list surplus after each service — cut type, quantity, price, and pickup window.
Brigader matches listings with verified caterers and food trucks in your city, based on order history and preferences.
Handoff details and payment happen through the platform. Simple, fast, documented.
