KAMEREO Standardizes Vietnam’s Food Supply Chain for Businesses That Cannot Afford Downtime

KAMEREO is a FoodTech company designed to bring order to Vietnam’s fragmented and unreliable food supply chain. Unpredictable pricing, delayed or incomplete deliveries, and inconsistent quality have long challenged commercial kitchens. KAMEREO was founded to remove these barriers. It supplies restaurants, hotels, cloud kitchens, and other businesses that depend on stable, dependable operations.

A Problem That Required Restructuring, Not an App

The company does not operate like a tech intermediary. It owns warehouses, builds direct sourcing relationships with farmers and manufacturers, and operates its own delivery fleet. Technology is used to manage inventory, pricing, procurement, and dispatch, but the reliability comes from its infrastructure.

Taku Tanaka, co-founder and CEO of KAMEREO, says that this was intentional from day one. She worked in the F&B industry long enough to understand that software alone cannot solve operational gaps. What KAMEREO needed was control over the chain. From procurement to last-mile delivery, every part of the flow needed to be verified.

Warehousing is Non-negotiable

The company operates temperature-controlled warehouses in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and other urban centers. Each facility is designed to handle vegetables, meat, seafood, dry goods, and cleaning supplies under strict conditions. No produce is stored for more than 48 hours. FIFO (First In, First Out) inventory logic is enforced by the system. Every delivery route is monitored.

This infrastructure allows KAMEREO to run next-day delivery schedules for its B2B customers. Orders placed before midnight are fulfilled before 10 am the next day. The company does not overpromise and it does not permit substitutions. If something is unavailable, it is flagged at the time of order, not after.

Suppliers are Vetted and Priced Through Data, Not Negotiation

Farmers and manufacturers are not onboarded through marketplaces or platforms. They are screened through audits. KAMEREO does not quote prices and wait for agreement. It uses market data, cost analysis, and logistics feasibility to fix a purchase price. The margins are locked in only after the service quality and volume reliability are proven.

This approach removes bargaining from the process. Tanaka says that this saves time for both sides. If the supplier cannot match the operational standard, the company will not proceed. The emphasis is not on variety or freshness claims. It is on whether the items can be delivered at volume, on schedule, without deviation.

Serving Businesses That Cannot Afford Disruption

KAMEREO serves kitchens that do not have buffer inventory or backup vendors. It delivers to restaurants, cloud kitchens, catering services, hospitals, and schools. These are buyers who require uninterrupted supply. If a kitchen is preparing 500 meals, a missed delivery is not just a cost, it is a liability.

The company’s promise is not premium quality or niche produce. It is fulfilment without deviation. Quality is standardized. The inventory is traceable. Pricing is predictable.

New Categories are Added Only After Internal Thresholds are Met

KAMEREO does not chase scale by expanding into every possible vertical. Frozen meat was added only after its existing perishable categories stabilized. Cleaning supplies were introduced after dry goods procurement was fully automated. Branded rice was introduced once logistics could support repeat shipment to multiple cities.

Import sourcing is being tested, not promoted. Tanaka says that they do not announce launches. They test them quietly, fix the process, and only then scale. Expansion is not a marketing decision. It is a process question.

A Supply Company That Does Not Pretend to Be Anything Else

KAMEREO’s purpose is to deliver essential goods to businesses that require operational certainty. The company does not rely on industry cycles, investor hype, or vanity branding. It is structured to deliver at a consistent quality, daily, across categories.

That is the service. And the company sees no reason to frame it as anything else.

We track every kilogram. There is no space for assumptions.
