About this guide

Prepare a purchasing list by product category and note the pack sizes and delivery frequency your business can accommodate. A restaurant buying a broad range may need a different supplier from a retailer sourcing a specialist line. Include your location, receiving hours and available storage when enquiring about an account. Ask about minimum orders, delivery routes, ordering cutoffs and handling of unavailable items. Compare case quantities and product specifications rather than price labels alone. For temperature-sensitive products, discuss receiving arrangements and the information supplied with deliveries. Clarify how substitutions, damaged goods and invoice discrepancies are reported, and whether a dedicated account contact will support ongoing orders.
