A Different Type of Technology Company

Pepper was founded on the belief that a team of veteran operators from the food distribution industry, working with product builders from the world’s leading technology companies, could together build a different type of technology company to serve the community of independent food distributors. We build software to elevate and future proof the role of independent food distributors.

We build partnerships on a foundation of trust, integrity, and a shared focus on the long term. We work hard, but don’t take ourselves too seriously. We are Pepper.
