🛒 Let’s Talk Food Sourcing!
One of the biggest keys to keeping your food costs in check is where you source your ingredients. There’s no one-size-fits-all — it really depends on your menu, location, and the quality you’re aiming for.
Some common suppliers include:
- Restaurant Depot
- Gordon Food Service (GFS)
- Sysco
- US Foods
But don’t sleep on local options either — sometimes they beat the big guys on both price and freshness. For example, we get our lamb for $8.99/lb from a local meat market, compared to $15.99/lb at Gordon’s. That’s a huge difference when you’re buying in bulk.
💡 Pro tip: Shop around and compare prices weekly, especially on your high-cost proteins and dairy items. Prices fluctuate, and what’s cheaper one month might change the next.
