Our portfolio
Two brands, one platform.
Each brand serves a different market and runs independently. Both are wholly owned by Two Average Guys LLC, and both run on operations software we develop ourselves.
Candy Sense
Candy Sense supplies custom printed confectionery and personal care items to the promotional products industry and to foodservice buyers. A customer brings their branding, and we produce the item to order.
The line covers mints and caramels in pillow packs and double packs, chocolates, lollipops, roll candy in five, seven, and eighteen count formats, square and rectangle multipacks, round tins, and single use wipes and hand gels. Pricing runs on published quantity break tiers, with distributor pricing available to recognized industry distributors.
Who buys from us
- Promotional products distributors sourcing branded giveaways for their own clients
- Restaurants, hotels, and foodservice operators buying branded mints and after dinner candy
- Companies ordering direct for trade shows, conferences, and customer gifts
How we operate it
Quoting, order entry, artwork approval, production scheduling, inventory, and fulfillment all run through our own operations platform, integrated with our accounting system. Production runs are tracked from purchase order through to received stock.
Metaphoric
Metaphoric curates furniture and accessories from around the world for residential and commercial spaces, alongside a collection of Latin American art. Pieces are selected for material, proportion, and how they read in a room.
The catalog spans sofas and sectionals, armchairs, outdoor furniture, tabletop and accessories including glassware and linens, and original art. The brand also takes custom commissions.
Who buys from us
- Homeowners furnishing a room or a whole house
- Interior designers and industry professionals, through a dedicated trade program
- Commercial and hospitality projects
How we operate it
Metaphoric sells online and from a showroom in Austin, Texas. The storefront, catalog, checkout, order pipeline, and customer communication all run on software we built, connected to the same inventory and accounting backbone as the rest of the company.
Mint
Mint is the operations assistant our own staff use. Rather than clicking through a dozen admin screens, our team asks Mint in plain language to pull up an account, check what is in stock, create an order, schedule a production run, or receive a purchase order, and Mint does the work in the underlying system.
Mint is an internal tool. It is not sold, and it is available only to Two Average Guys LLC employees and authorized staff at our brands. We publish it to our team on desktop and on mobile devices.
What it handles
- Account, contact, and address lookup and creation
- Quotes and order entry, with duplicate protection on every write
- Inventory levels, purchase orders, and receiving
- Production order scheduling and status
