Running a restaurant is hard enough—finding the right suppliers shouldn’t be a second full-time job.
Maybe your current supplier raised prices again. Maybe they’re consistently late with deliveries or the quality just isn’t what it used to be. Or maybe you’ve been thinking about switching, but every time you look into it, the process feels too overwhelming to even begin.
You’re not alone. According to the National Restaurant Association, 63% of operators shopped for new suppliers last year—and for good reason. The search for dependable, cost-effective suppliers is one of the biggest hurdles independent restaurant operators face. With hundreds of options and limited time to vet them, it’s no wonder it feels like a gamble.
The Challenges of Finding the Right Suppliers
- Limited Time and Resources: Finding and vetting suppliers is challenging when time and resources are scarce.
- Inconsistent Quality: Compromising on quality or facing inconsistent supply can damage your brand’s reputation.
- Negotiating Competitive Prices: Securing competitive prices is time-consuming and demands expertise.
- Managing Multiple Suppliers: Coordinating with multiple suppliers can be complex and overwhelming.
