When a product lands on a chain menu, the impact is massive. Chuck’s team exists to make that happen. He believes results come from preparing thoroughly, supporting one another, and clean execution.

Partnering with some of the nation’s most iconic restaurant brands, Chuck secures placements that move serious volume. At this level, wins and misses often decide whether clients hit their targets.

Before emerging concepts break out, his team is already in the mix, building relationships early. That foresight puts clients where growth is headed, not where it’s already crowded.

Behind the strategy is deep talent. Seasoned chefs and mixologists work alongside sales to develop fresh, relevant food and beverage concepts that resonate with operators.

Anyone who works with Chuck knows he genuinely loves this industry. CORE backs that energy.
