Dave’s Gourmet LLC (“Dave’s Gourmet”), a trailblazing food products innovator and legacy brand in the food industry with thirty years of experience, partnered with a young entrepreneur to help bring her vision from TikTok to the commercial market.
Chef Pii, the creator of Pink Sauce™ and a popular social media influencer, attempted to launch her creation to a wanting public, selling out of her initial stock in days. However, a lack of commercial food production knowledge led to significant obstacles. Production was paused, leaving a lot of customers waiting for their product with no immediate solution to satisfy the overwhelming demand for her Pink Sauce™ this past summer.
Dave’s Gourmet discovered this situation soon after Pink Sauce™ went viral on social media and decided to offer their help and expertise. Chef Pii and Dave’s Gourmet entered into an exclusive partnership whereby Dave’s Gourmet assumed responsibility as the exclusive supplier and distributor of Pink Sauce™. Dave’s Gourmet is producing Pink Sauce™ on a commercial scale under the required food safety manufacturing guidelines as well as selling the product through retail, food service, and e-commerce channels in the U.S. and other countries. Chef Pii continues to drive social media and other aspects of Pink Sauce.

Consumers can now purchase a Vegan and Gluten-Free version of the sensational sauce that Chef Pii had developed in her Miami kitchen.
