We believe that in the food service industry of today, there are opportunities to improve the transactional relationships between suppliers, distributors, brokers and restaurant operators by developing a category management framework that will improve guests’ dining experience, evolve relationships into collaborative strategic partnerships, reduce costs and improve profit margins.
The food service industry’s need for category management is being driven by the following key drivers:
-
The growing need to source more strategically
-
SKU optimisation and increasing inventory turns
-
Changing consumer needs and dining occasions
-
Maximising sales and profits by both the distributor and restaurant operators
-
Economic challenges and slowing down industry growth
At FFT, we embrace the need for category management and have therefore made decisions as to the categories in which we offer smart solutions:
