The Challenge + Solution

The Challenge

This multi-concept restaurant group had been working with Foodbuy Foodservice for several years. During an in-depth business review at their headquarters, Foodbuy Foodservice's Account Management Team shared the benefits of Foodbuy supplies, equipment, and services programs.

The Member was purchasing Chef Works uniforms through a local distributor, but paying sub-optimal pricing due to markups. As their company is in a growth period, this pricing is making more and more of an impact on overall finances.

The Foodbuy team recommended they switch to a direct Chef Works program through Foodbuy Foodservice.

The Solution

On this suggestion from Foodbuy Foodservice, the Member's culinary leadership began communicating with the Chef Works team about the benefits of a direct partnership.

The Chef Works team paid visits to several key properties, showcasing the elements of the program and answering questions. First, two properties signed onto the direct program. Shortly after, the Member cut ties with their current distributor and began a direct partnership with Chef Works through Foodbuy Foodservice.

The Member gained multiple benefits, including access to in-house embroidery services (requesting $5,000 in embroidery jobs in just one week,)a custom ordering dashboard, and dedicated support teams. All of this on top of significant price savings.
