How Our food Service Products are Delivered to Taco Mac and Why it Matters
When Material Motion was reached out about providing paper soup containers for Taco Mac, a beloved Georgia-based sports bar chain, our team was thrilled about this opportunity. Taco Mac, known for its wings, sports atmosphere, and fast-growing presence, is a Georgia-based a chain of sports bars founded in 1979 by Greg Wakeham, Lou Chambers to introduce Atlanta to Buffalo-style chicken wings. Now Taco Mac has 27 locations across the United States, including 26 locations throughout Georgia and one in Alabama.
So, how does Material Motion provide value to Taco Mac, and what approach makes us stand out? It all comes down to the three pillars that guide everything we do: Quality, Service, and Supply Chain Resilience.
Quality, Service, and Supply Chain Resilience
We believe that true value comes from doing the basics extremely well. For us, that means offering products of exceptional quality, delivering outstanding service, and ensuring supply chain resilience. These three factors are at the heart of everything we do, and they’ve helped us maintain a reputation as a reliable partner for Taco Mac and others in the food service industry.
At Material Motion, we understand that Taco Mac needs more than just packaging—they need a partner who can ensure their supply chain is seamless and dependable. From our responsive customer service to our proactive approach in managing inventory, we’re always thinking ahead to keep Taco Mac stocked, on time, and ready for their customers.
Why Factory Qualifications Matter the Most
Our partnering factories for food service products are diverse in terms of product capabilities and global presence. At Material Motion, we’re selective about the factories we partner with, ensuring they meet the highest standards for food safety and quality. All our factories are BRC certified, with ratings of A or higher under the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) standards. This guarantees that food service items including the paper soup containers go to Taco Mac are made to the strictest food-grade standards and are safe for their customers.
By partnering with only the best factories, we ensure our customers have peace of mind that their products are manufactured by top-tier factories.
Always Ready, No Matter What
Material Motion currently has three distribution centers designated to keep stock for food service products. The distribution center in Morrow GA is the main warehouse location where we have hundreds of pallets of stocked food service products ready for shipping to our customers, ranging from paper containers, cutleries, plastic drinking cups, lids, napkins, paper bags and T-shirt bags etc. Our distribution centers in Houston TX and Miami FL also are distribution hubs for food service products, serving our customers close to TX and FL areas.
With these distribution centers, Material Motion can quickly respond to changing demand, ensuring we always have what the customers need when they need it. Whether it’s a last-minute order or a seasonal spike, Material Motion has the infrastructure to stay agile and maintain a steady flow of supplies.
Tailored Solutions for Unique Needs
Every foodservice operation has its own unique requirements, and at Material Motion, we pride ourselves on offering tailored solutions that fit customer’s specific needs. We can manufacture and supply custom-printed and custom-sized food service products.
We also make it a point to stay ahead of industry trends. For example, sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the food service sector, and Material Motion is committed to supplying eco-friendly packaging options that align with food service industry’s goals and values.
Growth and Beyond
Over the past 5 years, we have experienced huge challenges in ensuring on-time delivery to our customers with approved quality at agreed upon pricing. When the Covid and tariffs hit, Material Motion’s team proactively refined sourcing strategies and inventory programs that allowed us to service our customers with the best quality, lead time, and costing they could have been offered.
At Material Motion, we believe we are not just in the business of supplying packaging, we’re in the business of helping the customers solve their problems, building long-term partnerships, and being adaptive to the demands. We believe we are not only a supplier, but also a partner who is always ready for our customers. This is the value that goes beyond a product itself; it’s a commitment to overall success for the company, Material Motion, and our customers.
