Finding a new food supplier is a daunting task and one that can take a long time. Here are 3 important things to consider when searching for new wholesale food suppliers, plus they’re all really quick and easy to do with our new wholesale ordering partner – Foodbomb!

1) Minimum orders & product range – Make sure you pick a supplier that has a range of products that will enable you to easily hit the minimum order with. A manageable minimum order amount will avoid you over-ordering a small product range to simply meet these amounts.

2) Delivery days & times – The importance of a wholesale food supplier’s delivery days and time will very much depend on your individual situation. If storage and or freshness is a major issue for your foodservice venue, then ensure that deliveries to your area are available as frequently as you need it.

3) Price – While price equals quality for some products (like Wagyu beef), there are several other factors that will influence a supplier’s wholesale price, such as:

  • Quantity – Greater volumes are the easiest way to get better pricing. If you’re buying large quantities of a specific product, speak to your supplier rep or if you’re with Foodbomb – your Account Manager will be able to help you organise competitive custom pricing from all your suppliers.
  • Order less frequently – This may seem counterintuitive however if you’re able to order larger quantities less frequently then your wholesale food supplier may be able to offer more competitive pricing given the reduced delivery costs.
