Earlier, CJ Freshway signed a contract with Slow Cali in October last year and decided to start supplying ingredients from this year. CJ Freshway plans to deliver key poke ingredients such as salmon and vegetable mixes through its cold chain logistics network. It also created a store operation manual for managing client stores. The manual includes hall and kitchen operations, customer service, hygiene management, and ingredient storage methods. Additionally, CJ Freshway is discussing the possibility of featuring Slow Cali's signature menu items in 'Snack Pick,' a ready-meal takeout corner operated for group meal clients.

A CJ Freshway representative said, "This Slow Cali contract is the result of collaboration among various departments including sales, product, and logistics to propose the optimal solution," adding, "We will spare no effort to support Slow Cali as a business partner, not just a simple ingredient supplier, so that it can establish itself as Korea's representative poke brand."
