and cleanliness, while meeting TAVO’s goals for increased production and NFPA compliance. Being Intentional Both David and Jeff Taylor stress the importance of in- tentionality in business, particularly when analyzing mar- kets to pursue. “We are very strong in the quick-serve restaurant space and you don’t get into that segment of the food service industry unless you’re very intentional about it,” said David. “If you try to do everything for everyone, no one is going to be happy. We are not going to compete with a company that’s brilliant with cosmetic and pharmaceutical packaging, and by the same token, if that company tried to compete with us in the quick-serve space, they’d be mis- erable. They’re not built for it. To meet the requirements of the quick-serve market you need the capacity to carry a lot of inventory, which is a big commitment. The reason we were able to grow the way in which we have is by focus- ing on a particular segment and putting all our weight and effort behind it. It’s very difficult to be a jack of all trades.”

Just before Covid hit, Tavo had also committed to ex- panding its warehouse to accommodate its increased in- ventory. The Taylors are grateful they made the decision to move forward when they did; they pre-purchased the steel right before the pandemic disrupted so much of the supply chain. “We were probably the only construction site in the United States with material,” said Jeff.
