Should You Have A Backup Distributor? And Building Customer Relationships FDP23

(Recorded July 1st, 2020) Wow we're already halfway through the year. Good! Like most of you I'm ready for this year, the pandemic, the "will they won't they open the dining rooms", and the general uncertainty in consumer behavior to be over! Today I'm taking a step back to discuss the pros and cons of working with multiple distributors. There's no right or wrong here, this is more of an exploration of mindsets and a review of the benefits and drawbacks of choosing a single distributor to handle your business, or multiple distributors. I hope this is the most helpful podcast you've heard all month - feel free to reach out with questions and comments at [email protected] or on twitter/SM @FoodservicePod This episode is Audio only. I'm switching up the format because the audio seems to be much more popular than the video version, and the video is twice the amount of work to put together. Interviews and deep dives requiring visuals will continue to be in both video and audio format. Thanks for listening and feel free to DM @dmlayt Cheers,  David

A podcast about restaurant distribution and foodservice economics. David works in the foodservice distribution industry, servicing restaurant groups in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. "I have spent half of my career in restaurants learning from customers, and the other half supporting restaurants as a foodservice distributor. Having always looked for a podcast that could teach me more about distribution, supply chain, foodservice sales, products, and restaurants, but never finding it... I decided to make it myself." em: [email protected] social: @FoodservicePod
