About The Restaurant Warehouse

The Restaurant Warehouse

A Revolution in the Internet Food Service Industry

The word revolution generally refers to a sudden and dramatic upheaval or sharp change in direction. If we apply this definition to the character of the public feeding industry we can then bring into focus the situation as it exists today.

The internet revolution of the 1990s did not occur overnight; many decades passed before the internet was readily accepted. Internet payment technologies like Square Payments coupled with facebook, twitter, yelp and the gig economy food delivery services caviar, door dash, grubhub, uber eats, and postmates have become "co-workers" of the independent restaurateurs, without supplanting them to the larger fast food and fast casual chains, as so many mom and pops restaurants had once feared.

A parallel exists with the present transition of the food service industry. As evidenced by customers' ever changing tastes and demands, restaurant traffic and delivery, government regulations, increases in minimum wage and a high effective tax rate, the food service industry has evolved significantly, especially within the last 10 years.

Why are The Restaurant Warehouse prices so low? The question should be - Why are some of my competitor's prices so high? Most of my competitors market their products with salesmen or affiliate schemes that drive prices up drastically. If a company pays out 20 to 50% commissions to it’s salesmen that would double or in some cases triple the cost of their products.

I feel it is my fiduciary duty to be profitable to ensure I will be around for the long term to continue to support my customers, but I also feel it also important to offer my customers ongoing support for their business. I am not running a company that needs to invest profits in technology. The companies that I am partnered with are all pay on performance companies that have invested heavily and continue to invest in technology. Their job is to bring customers to my products and to keep my customers data and information secure.

The profit margin I make is well below the industry standard, but I am able to grow with low overhead as I sell direct via the internet, and pass the savings on to our customers.
