What is a Purchasing Group?

A purchasing group is a centralized buying organization created to help reduce costs and improve efficiency by combining the purchasing power of multiple restaurants. Whether we fully own or operate in joint-venture, all participating locations benefit from volume discounts, negotiated pricing, and consistent supply terms.

By standardizing and consolidating orders across all our restaurants, the purchasing group allows us to:

• Negotiate better pricing with suppliers for food, beverages, packaging, and equipment
• Ensure product consistency across all locations
• Simplify inventory and logistics
• Improve margins and overall profitability
• Support new restaurants with faster and more cost-effective setup

The group also handles supplier relations, quality control, and periodically reviews vendor contracts to ensure we are always getting the best value.

This system benefits both our owned restaurants and our joint-venture partners by creating a stronger, more competitive operation.
