Complete store openings
The date is public. Everything else is a lead time.
Equipment, smallwares, packaging, signage and opening inventory come from different suppliers with different lead times. If one item misses, the opening misses. Intria coordinates the whole package – from one location to a hundred – so that it arrives as one thing, on the date you have already announced.
What the destination asks for
A store opening is not a shipment. It is an orchestration.
Selecting the site and running the build-out are the big, visible tasks. They get the attention and the project management. It is the finishing details that decide whether you open: the soft serve machine on a twelve-week lead time, the branded cups that have to be printed, the signage that has to clear customs, the opening inventory that cannot arrive so early it expires.
Sourced separately, each of those tasks is somebody's individual responsibility and nobody's collective one. Intria takes on the whole package.
Central America
A complete store, purchased, consolidated and shipped in under six weeks.
An opening on an extremely tight deadline. Our procurement team purchased the complete new store package — equipment, smallwares, packaging, signage and opening inventory — verified it against specification, documented it, consolidated it and shipped it in under six weeks. The opening went ahead on schedule.

What we coordinate
Food & ingredients
The consumables a location cannot open without, sourced to brand specification.
Bakery mixes, syrups and toppings, coffee, tea, cocoa, condiments, oils, sauces, seasonings.
Frozen & chilled
Temperature-controlled from our own refrigerated capacity through to delivery.
Frozen bakery, egg products, ice cream ingredients and mix-ins, dairy, portioned proteins, prepared foods.
Packaging
Branded packaging is where brand standards are most visible and most often compromised.
Branded cups, lids, boxes, wraps and utensils, with print lead times built into the opening sequence.
Foodservice equipment
Specified against the destination electrical standard and certification requirements before anything is built.
Espresso machines, brewers, soft serve, refrigeration, ovens, fryers, ice makers, display cabinets.
Smallwares & fixtures
The items nobody remembers until the store cannot open without them.
Service smallwares, utensils, prep tables, sinks, cookware, racking, carts, store fixtures.
Non-product categories
The stuff that never sells but always represents the brand.
Signage and menu systems, merchandising, uniforms, janitorial, safety, waste.
Working backwards
from the date
The opening date is the only fixed point. Every lead time is measured against it.
It carries the longest lead times and the only failure mode that cannot be fixed in-market. Voltage, frequency, plug configuration and certification are confirmed before an order is placed.
Longest first. Print and manufacture before consumables.
Every item checked against specification and original packaging as it arrives, not on the dock at destination.
One container, one commercial invoice, one documentation set.
Tracked to in-market delivery, with last mile arranged when needed.
One location or a hundred.
The coordination problem does not change shape as it scales — it changes size. Intria has run openings at both ends of that range, and a multi-unit rollout is the same discipline applied repeatedly with a shared documentation set and a shared consolidation schedule.
For a new licensee with no import history, this is usually the first conversation: there is a lease, a date and no supply chain. That is a good place to start.
Bring us the date
A signed lease and an opening date are enough to start. We will work backwards from it and tell you what has to be ordered this week.
