Total Food Service brought in David Sederholt, SOO of Strategic Funding Source Inc, to talk suppliers in the restaurant business and how to get the most for your money. He encourages restaurant managers to compare more than price of a single item when choosing a supplier. Often times, larger suppliers may charge more than the little guy, but paying the extra few dollars may be worth it depending on the benefits you're offered. If a small supplier is offering a discount but requires a cash payment upfront, it might be in your best interest to choose a larger supplier that makes ordering and delivery easy being a "one stop shop" and offering 30 day credit.
Of course, the same strategy doesn't work for every single restaurant. To read more about strategizing your restaurant supply, read the full article on Total Food Service through this link:
