Vendor Compliance · Austin Restaurants
And How ChefPax Meets Them
Looking for a compliant microgreens supplier? ChefPax is fully insured, vendor-ready, and built for restaurant onboarding.
Austin restaurants and hospitality accounts typically require a small set of standard documentation before approving a new food vendor: proof of insurance, a W-9 for payment processing, food handler certification, and demonstrated ability to deliver consistently. These requirements exist whether you are ordering produce, specialty ingredients, or perishables like microgreens.
ChefPax is a fully compliant microgreens supplier based in Manor, TX, delivering weekly to Austin restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering accounts. We carry $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate General and Product Liability insurance, have a W-9 on file, and hold a Texas Food Handler Certification issued by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). All documentation is available on request before your first order.
The guide below explains what each requirement means and confirms exactly how ChefPax meets it — so your purchasing team can approve us without the typical back-and-forth.
