Dining Alliance provides a seamless way for foodservice operators to drain cost out of their operating expense without impacting their guests. It's a no-cost, no-risk proposition. As a purchasing professional I tackle the biggest rocks in the sandbox every day, most often it's the biggest ones that catch the most attention. Dining Alliance is a terrific resource because their system catches ALL the rocks.

With the help of the Dining Alliance, we will be saving money on purchases we already make for our restaurants. Their organization not only negotiates contracts on our behalf but audits the vendors to make sure they are in compliance. This will mean thousands of dollars in savings for us.

In these trying times for the foodservice industry, and the economy as a whole, it has been a pleasure to be associated with such a dedicated group of individuals that make up the Dining Alliance. Since becoming a member in the Boston area we, as a company (Eight Restaurants), have made savings in the tens of thousands of dollars and continue to make savings on a daily basis. The Dining Alliance works tirelessly to get the independent restaurateur the best possible pricing across the multitude of products we all need to remain competitive in these tough economic times and beyond. By banding together the independent restaurateurs of America will have a voice that can be more powerful than the chains and receive competitive pricing that we can pass on to our customers.

Who else will actually save you money, at your bottom line with no cost to you? With the chains exploding around the Pittsburgh area, it is very difficult to compete. They have lower expenses and higher profit margin. We are always providing a quality product. As independents, we rely on our quality to sustain our existence. Now with Dining Alliance, we will be able to continue to provide a quality product and still compete with the chains.

The timing of Dining Alliance coming to Boston was excellent due to this sort of choppy, funny economic situation we are in right now. You find it is pretty hard to increase the foot traffic to your building. With that said, our costs are driving upward. There are really only two cards left in the deck; your labor costs and your costs of goods sold. I think that is why so many operator/owners are embracing the Dining Alliance because it has really given us the chance to control some cost increases. We do not want to increase our prices. Dining Alliance has given us the ability to keep our prices in check. Other independents that haven't seen the Dining Alliance experience are being forced to increase their prices and you have to be careful increasing prices because your customer will start to perceive you differently.
