You've tasted MONIN in your coffee, your cocktail, and your dessert. But you've likely never visited their website. With $505M in revenue but only 3,952 monthly visits, MONIN operates like a B2B behemoth disguised as a consumer brand. This is the story of industrial-scale flavor distribution in the digital age.

"MONIN doesn't sell to consumers—it sells through professionals. Your barista isn't choosing flavors for your latte; their procurement manager is."

The tech stack tells a story of modernization attempts. Shopify powers commerce, Tailwind and Bootstrap handle UI, but the presence of 'PWA' and 'Priority Hints' suggests they're optimizing for mobile—likely for on-the-go bar professionals checking specs. Yet with only 3.7/5 on Trustpilot and just one review, their digital reputation is virtually non-existent. This isn't a brand competing online; it's a brand dominating offline.

• Revenue-to-traffic ratio is astronomically high: $128 per monthly visitor (vs. typical $5-15 for DTC)
• 90.4% of traffic from 'undefined' country—likely France (home country) with heavy internal/VPN traffic masking true origins
• Key people focused on sustainability and beverage innovation, not digital growth
• Top search term 'jd edwards' (8,700 searches) suggests ERP system confusion bleeding into search behavior
