Your Brand Is Growing. Your Operations Should Not Be the Reason It Stalls.
Snackteva is a food manufacturing consulting firm that installs AI-enabled operational systems into scaling food and beverage brands so founders can protect margin, reduce risk, and grow without operational chaos.
Scaling Without Systems Is the Most Expensive Decision You Will Make
Most founder-led food brands hit a wall between $2M and $30M. In most cases, it is not because the product is wrong or the market is too small. Instead, the operational infrastructure was simply never built to handle what growth demands.
As a result, the symptoms show up predictably: margin compression hiding silently in your P&L. Meanwhile, co-pack relationships run on trust instead of systems. In addition, production schedules follow urgency rather than planning. Furthermore, audit preparation turns into a scramble every single time. Ultimately, a single founder bears the weight of every operational decision.
These are not growing pains. They are structural vulnerabilities that the right food manufacturing consulting partner can help you resolve. And they compound with every quarter of unchecked growth.
Three Ways Our Food Manufacturing Consulting Builds Operational Infrastructure
1
Diagnose: Operational Intelligence Assessment
Specifically, we map your margin leakage, score your operational risk, evaluate your system maturity, and deliver a 90-day execution blueprint. This is not a surface-level audit. In other words, it is a comprehensive operational diagnostic designed for brands preparing to scale, raise capital, or transition manufacturing models.
2
Build: Intelligent Systems Implementation
In this phase, we install AI-powered SOP libraries, audit documentation systems, production workflow engines, and team training infrastructure directly into your organization. Essentially, think of it as installing a scalable operational brain.
3
Lead: Embedded Operator
In particular, this means fractional operational leadership embedded inside your company. This includes co-pack oversight, vendor negotiation, production planning, audit preparation, and team accountability. As a result, you get the operational leadership infrastructure you need at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time VP of Operations.
Built for Founder-Led Food Brands at a Critical Inflection Point
Our food manufacturing consulting services are built for a specific type of company. If the following describes your situation, we should talk:
- Specifically, you run a natural food or beverage brand generating between $2M and $30M in annual revenue.
- You are scaling production through co-packers, self-manufacturing, or transitioning between the two.
- You do not have a full-time VP of Operations, and the founder is still the operational bottleneck.
- Additionally, you are experiencing margin compression, audit anxiety, or production unpredictability.
- You know systems need to be built but do not have the bandwidth or expertise to build them internally.
Not the Right Fit?
However, we are not the right fit for pre-revenue startups, brands under $1M in revenue, or founders still validating product-market fit. Instead, our engagements are designed for brands with traction that need operational infrastructure to sustain and accelerate growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Snackteva different from other food industry consultants?
We do not consult. We build. Most food industry advisors deliver reports and recommendations. We install operational systems, AI-enabled knowledge infrastructure, and measurable accountability structures directly into your organization. The output is not a slide deck. It is a functioning operational backbone.
What does AI-enabled actually mean in this context?
It means we use artificial intelligence as infrastructure, not as a gimmick. We deploy AI-powered SOP libraries, automated audit documentation, intelligent knowledge management systems, and team training tools that make your operations more consistent, more documented, and less dependent on any single person. This is not about chatbots. It is about building organizational intelligence.
How much does an engagement cost?
Our Operational Intelligence Assessment ranges from $12K to $20K depending on complexity. Implementation and embedded leadership engagements are scoped based on assessment findings. We work with brands that understand the cost of not having operational systems in place far exceeds the investment in building them.
Do you work with brands using co-packers, self-manufacturers, or both?
Both. A significant portion of our clients are navigating hybrid production models or transitioning between the two. Our systems are built to function regardless of manufacturing model and are particularly valuable during transitions when operational risk is highest.
How long does an assessment take?
The Operational Intelligence Assessment is delivered within 3 to 4 weeks from engagement start. You will receive a comprehensive margin leakage map, operational risk score, system maturity evaluation, AI readiness assessment, audit exposure analysis, and a 90-day execution blueprint.
We already have SOPs. Why do we need your systems?
Having SOPs and having an operational system are two different things. Most brands we work with have scattered documents across Google Drive, tribal knowledge in the heads of key employees, and no automated compliance or audit documentation. We do not just write SOPs. We install a knowledge management backbone that makes institutional knowledge accessible, updatable, and audit-ready at all times.
