The structural problem in food
Exceptional food is difficultto reproduce consistently.
In many food businesses, quality depends on the skill and judgment of
the chef, and on experienced staff who know how to execute the food
properly.
That makes the business dependent on who is in the kitchen.
When the chef is away, working with a different team, or simply unable
to oversee every detail, the consistency of the food can suffer.
For the owner, that creates a fundamental problem:
How do you serve exceptional
food consistently without
depending on a particular chef
or a particular set of skilled hands?

THE ARTEES SOLUTION
The quality isbuilt into the system.
Artees does not leave the result to the skill or judgment of a chef.
The formulation defines what goes into the food. The process defines how it is made.
Defined controls, tools, training, and quality checks help people execute it the same way.
People do the work.
The system holds the quality.

What makes Artees different
Four things that rarely coexistin one food business.
01
Exceptional quality
Food people would go out of their way to seek out.
02
Without chef dependency
The system—not an individual chef—holds the standard.
03
Reproducibility
Defined formulations and processes are designed to produce the same result consistently.
04
Affordability
Exceptional food offered at prices accessible to many.
Bringing all four together in one production system is what distinguishes Artees.
Development & evidence
Built through years of hands-on development.
Artees was not developed from recipes alone.
Over approximately six years, products and production methods were developed through repeated formulation work, ingredient evaluation, equipment trials, process testing, and documentation.

Development in practice
The work was carried out across five fitted kitchens and labs, using more than 100 pieces of equipment and appliances, more than 700 tools and process aids, and more than 600 ingredients evaluated across the wider Artees platform.
The purpose was not simply to create food that tasted good.
It was to understand how to reproduce the same result reliably—across different people, batches, and production conditions. The kitchens were working development spaces where formulations were tested, equipment was evaluated, and production methods were refined through repeated hands-on work.
The result is a developed product and production system backed by hands-on development, testing, and documented operating knowledge.

Founder & institution
The experience behind Artees.
Artees was founded by Mamun Chowdhury.
His experience began in food operations in the U.K., where he saw firsthand how strongly food quality could depend on individual chefs. He then spent nearly three decades building technology and systems businesses before beginning the development of Artees in 2020.
Artees brings those two experiences together: an understanding of the problem in food and the discipline of building systems that can be learned, transferred, and repeated.
Artees Corporation is the New York parent company behind the Artees food platform. Artees Sweets is its first commercial and franchise brand.
