Food & Beverage Procurement Consulting Process

1

Initial Assessment & Product Review

We assess your assortment, site coverage, and order frequency to identify gaps in sourcing, SKU duplication, pricing inconsistencies, and seasonal demand challenges. This phase uncovers the baseline for cost control, quality alignment, and supplier rationalization across your food and beverage procurement categories.

2

Spend Breakdown & Supplier Mapping

We analyze spend by SKU, supplier, and site to identify price variances, margin leaks, and supply chain inefficiencies. Supplier performance data helps us flag issues like missed deliveries, limited capacity, or lack of certifications, guiding renegotiations, supplier exits, or opportunities to consolidate contracts.

3

Sourcing Strategy & Supplier Matching

We define sourcing priorities like freshness, shelf life, packaging format, or delivery frequency. Then we match you with vetted suppliers that meet your quality, sustainability, and logistics needs, ensuring each partnership supports your brand standards, site requirements, and long-term category strategy.

4

Implementation & Supplier Onboarding

We manage end-to-end onboarding: pricing files, agreed specs, delivery windows, QA protocols, and ERP integrations. Our team supports training for kitchen and procurement teams, aligning them with new vendor workflows to reduce disruptions and ensure a clean go-live across all units or locations.

5

Digital Tools & Reporting Setup

We configure dashboards to monitor unit costs, delivery accuracy, fulfillment rates, and compliance. Site-level reporting gives buyers and operators real-time data to track trends, flag issues, and optimize reordering—transforming fragmented spreadsheets into a centralized, actionable procurement command center.
