Here’s how Dining Alliance works

Dining Alliance partners with top manufacturers and suppliers to negotiate exclusive rebates for our members. Instead of charging you a membership fee, we work directly with manufacturers who provide rebates on qualifying purchases. This allows us to offer our program completely free to restaurants.

Beyond manufacturer rebates, we offer additional savings opportunities, including:

• Beyond Broadline Programs – Discounts on equipment, supplies, payroll, credit card processing, and more.
• Product Optimization – We help you identify rebate-eligible products that match what you're already purchasing, so you can increase your CashBack.
• Real Foodservice Rewards – Earn points on purchases and redeem for high-value rewards like TVs, trips, iPhones, and more.

By using all available programs, restaurants can maximize their savings and rebates.

The MyDiningAlliance Portal provides a central hub where you can:

• Track your rebates and CashBack in real time
• Access detailed purchasing reports by manufacturer, category, and item
• Submit ACH setup for direct deposit payments
• Chat with our AI-powered assistant (ChatGPT) to get answers on rebates, payments, and more

Everything is automated, so you can focus on running your business while we track your savings.

Rebates are paid out on a quarterly basis. You can choose to receive payments via:

• ACH Direct Deposit for faster access to funds
• Mailed check if preferred

Your earnings are automatically tracked, and payments are processed without any extra work on your end.

No. Dining Alliance works behind the scenes to match rebates to the products you're already buying.

If you want to maximize earnings, we also provide recommendations on switching to rebate-eligible alternatives that offer even greater CashBack.

Dining Alliance is designed for independent restaurants, multi-unit operators, and foodservice businesses that purchase their food from a distributor. Whether you’re a small café, full-service restaurant, or catering company, you’re eligible to join and start saving if you purchase food through a distributor.

Once you sign up and connect your purchases, rebates start accumulating immediately. Your first rebate payout will be processed in the next quarterly cycle. 

Yes! Multi-unit operators can link all locations under one account to track savings, rebates, and purchasing trends in a single portal.

If you switch distributors, you can update your account in the MyDiningAlliance Portal. We’ll reconnect your purchases to ensure you continue earning rebates without interruption.
