Home/About Us

Built in California, for California's Chinese kitchens

We started as one chef and one van. Today we are the operating partner behind more than 180 Chinese restaurants and 2,400 catering events across the state.

Our Story

From a single wok line to a statewide service team

VEVOR was founded by a group of Cantonese-trained chefs who realised how much California restaurant owners were losing to guesswork — inconsistent prep, unclear food cost, paperwork they had no time to read.

So we built a company around one idea: give Chinese restaurants the same operating discipline that national chains enjoy, but without stripping away the food and the culture that make them worth visiting. Today our Rancho Cucamonga headquarters coordinates kitchen support, supply and catering teams working from the San Gabriel Valley to the Inland Empire and Orange County.

We are still family-run, still bilingual, and still small enough that a restaurant owner can reach someone who can actually make a decision.

What We Stand For

Four principles we refuse to trade away

They are simple, and they are why clients stay with us for years rather than seasons.

Local, always

We only operate in California. That means we know your county health department, your labour market and your delivery routes.

Numbers, not opinions

Every recommendation comes with a food-cost or labour calculation attached. You should be able to check our work.

Your kitchen, your recipes

We standardise and document your dishes. We never replace a signature recipe with a cheaper shortcut.

Bilingual, always

Every contract, SOP and training sheet exists in English and Chinese, so both halves of your team are on the same page.

Why Restaurants Choose VEVOR

One team accountable for the whole operation

Most vendors solve one problem. A supplier delivers food, an agency sends staff, a consultant hands over a report. VEVOR is built to own the outcome end to end.

  • A single coordinator who knows your kitchen, your menu and your volume
  • Same-day response to enquiries, seven days a week during event season
  • Written scopes with itemised pricing — nothing quoted verbally and forgotten
  • Insurance and compliance handled in-house, not subcontracted away
  • Scale without drama from a 20-person office lunch to a 600-guest banquet

Questions

What owners ask us most

Chinese cuisine is our specialty and where nearly all of our experience sits, but we work with any operator who wants a well-run kitchen. That said, our sourcing, recipes and wok-line training are built around Chinese cooking.

No. Restaurant services run on a rolling monthly basis you can cancel with 30 days' notice. Catering is booked per event. We would rather earn the next month than lock you into it.

Consultations are scheduled within one business day. Most restaurant service engagements begin within 7–10 days of a signed scope. Catering depends on the date — peak weekends (May, October and December) book 6–10 weeks out.

Yes. Our client team works in English and Mandarin, and several coordinators speak Cantonese. All documentation is issued bilingually.
