THE PAPI PARTNER PROMISE, BY THE NUMBERS
We skip the fluff and focus on the hard facts. Here's what you can rely on when you partner with us.
FAST CONNECTION TO OUR DISTRIBUTOR
Forget waiting weeks for a callback. We get you connected with our official Melbourne distributor, fast. No messing around.
700+ AUSSIE RETAILERS & COUNTING
From national supermarkets like Coles to boutique grocers, over 700 retailers across Australia stock our jars.
100% VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE
Solve menu headaches with one jar. The core chilli oil range is 100% Vegan and Gluten-Free certified, making it the easiest way to add a 'wow' factor to your plant-based and allergy-friendly dishes.
A Supply Partner Built For Busy Cafes
You're busy running a cafe, not navigating flaky suppliers. The core range is 100% vegan and gluten-free, so you can solve menu headaches with a single jar. Just a heads-up, our UmamiPapi Chilli Egg Mayo contains egg (shocker, right?) and is not Vegan. With a reliable local supply chain, you'll never have to stress about running out.
The Perfect Heat For Every Customer
This isn't just another condiment. It’s a kitchen weapon we made for menus that refuse to be boring.
- The OG Papi
This is the one that started it all. It’s our signature crispy, crunchy, modern classic that delivers those unforgettable moments that make a dish famous. - The XSpicy Papi
We took the same addictive profile as our OG and cranked the heat. This is for the customers who get it and will love you for having it.
The One Jar Fix For Your Menu
You know your menu is good, but you feel it's missing something. We built Papi to be that something. It’s designed to fix the dishes you’re not 100% happy with.
- Avo toast is fine. Papi makes it famous.
- Vegan scrambles can be depressing. This is the flavour bomb.
- You're bored with one note heat. You want crunch and real taste.
You need a secret weapon. The one thing regulars rave about.

The UmamiPapi Way vs. The Big Foodservice Model
Most foodservice suppliers are boring and inflexible. We're not. Here’s the clear difference.
✅ The UmamiPapi Way
Real, small batch consistency. Made with care right here in Australia.
No lock in contracts. Order what you need, when you need it.
Crunch, aroma, and actual taste that makes your food better.
A local team that actually gives a d*mn about your business.
❌ The Big Foodservice Model
Soulless, mass produced sauce from some mega corp overseas.
Scary 12 month contracts designed to trap you.
One dimensional heat that just bulldozes over your ingredients.
Faceless call centres and support tickets that go nowhere.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
A Famous Menu, With Zero Extra Prep
We deliver the 'wow' factor, so you can focus on running your cafe, not reinventing your menu.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Our official Melbourne distributor sets the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ). They’re set up to support everyone from small neighbourhood cafes to larger operations, and they’ll give you a full rundown on pricing and terms. No secrets.
You know it. Our 750g Jumbo jar is the kitchen workhorse, built specifically for the chaos of a commercial service and designed to make your life easier. It's the most cost effective way to get Papi on your menu and is perfect for high volume use.
We use it, and we're proud of it. MSG is the ‘umami’ in UmamiPapi. It's the secret to that ridiculously good, savoury depth of flavour that keeps people coming back. The whole "bad for you" thing is a completely debunked myth from the 60s. It’s time we all moved on.
Our Melbourne distributor handles all local deliveries. Once you're set up with them, they will provide you with a clear delivery schedule for your area. They run a tight ship, ensuring you have a reliable supply rhythm you can plan your kitchen's week around.
Yes. Both the chilli oil OG Papi and XSpicy Papi are 100% vegan and gluten free. This makes them a dead simple, crowd pleasing addition to your menu that caters to common dietary needs without you having to think twice about it.
Just a heads-up: our UmamiPapi Chilli Egg Mayo contains egg (shocker, right?) and our Hot Honey contains, well, honey. So those two aren’t vegan.
Most chilli oils are just about heat. We care about the full experience: crispy crunch, deep aroma, and a satisfying taste that enhances your food. Our signature chilli oil has a unique flavour profile you won't find anywhere else.
We're Melbourne, born and bred. We make our full range in our Cheltenham facility, so when you work with us, you're supporting a local Australian business.
