Foodservice GPO’s are on the rise in the restaurant world. They facilitate the flow of data, rebates, savings and communications between restaurant owners, manufacturers and distributors. Group Purchasing Organizations that support the restaurant industry provide independent restaurant owners with access to manufacturer savings and rebates, discounts on supplies and equipment, insights into employee perk programs and more.
With the industry still experiencing the downfall from the pandemic, it’s important now more than ever to get the most savings for your operation. Here are 3 ways your restaurant can save on your bottom line and gain access to discounts and savings on the brands your customers know and love.
Savings on Restaurant Food and Ingredients
With access to over 350+ manufacturer relationships servicing everything from produce and seafood to meat and dairy, a foodservice GPO offers you exclusive savings and rebates on the brands and products you use every day. Quarterly rebates on the ingredients you already purchase will help you save money and provide you with time-saving items you may not know exist. Here are just some of the savings on food products you get when you join a foodservice GPO:
First, you order products as you normally would. Then, by using the MyDining Alliance CashBack portal, you submit your proof of purchase online. From there, our Restaurant GPO technology systems analyze your invoices to identify items that are on our rebate program and your pile of CashBack earnings grows! Our portfolio of rebate partners includes:
- Barilla
- Conagra
- Keurig Dr Pepper
- McCormick
- Pepsi
- Smithfield
- Tyson
- Unilever
- And many, many more!
Savings on Restaurant Supplies and Equipment
Whether you buy from your broadline supplier or from a local specialty vendor, a foodservice GPO can decrease operational costs on categories including broadline, paper supplies, cable service and more. At Dining Alliance, we leverage our buying power on behalf of members in order to negotiate supplier contracts that yield the greatest savings without sacrificing quality or standards. You can choose your target category and we’ll conduct a free comparison to see how much we can save your operation by leveraging our group purchasing contracts.
