 I’m not sure who to talk to about this, but we have been buying produce, dry goods and meat through Dining Alliance for over a year now. It is an alliance of restaurants with incredible purchasing power. I was reviewing pricing today with our Executive Chef/Culinary Director, Tim Willis, and the saving we are seeing are very impressive, especially in produce at this time of year. Dining alliance works by contracting with purveyors and building in prices over a year at a time… right now we are saving $15.00 a case on tomatoes alone.

I wanted to wait a year until we were sure about the success of this program before I mentioned it to you. I think it is a great option for Lyons Group – the program is very flexible so you can buy a full range of items including paper goods or pick and choose the purchases that are best for you. For example, we do not use them for seafood purchases.

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.
