Food Teck

Food Teck is located at No. 5 Valipalayam 1st Street. It’s a pretty narrow street, so it can be a real struggle to find a place to park if you’re driving a larger vehicle. We are just a small group of people working on food supplies. We don't run a restaurant; it's more of a hub where we manage different products. The building we are in is quite old, but we make sure the inside stays very clean. Depending on what we are working with that day, you can usually smell different spices or ingredients when you walk in. It’s a busy little place to spend the day. We start quite early in the morning before the rest of the street wakes up. By the time noon rolls around, Valipalayam is usually buzzing with activity. We have a couple of delivery bikes that are constantly going in and out. Our office is just two old desks pushed together in the corner. We don't have a receptionist, so if there’s a knock at the door, whoever isn't busy goes to answer it. We spend a lot of time talking to suppliers on the phone. Sometimes orders get mixed up, and we have to spend the whole afternoon sorting through boxes to get it right. It’s a lot of physical work, and we usually just wear jeans and t-shirts. We’ve been on 1st Street for several years and know all the neighbors.
