A Simple Wholesale Buying Guide for Restaurants and Bakeries

Wholesale buying can lower your cost per unit, but only when what you order is used before it expires. A little planning at the start saves a lot of money later.

1. Know your usage

Track how much of each item you use in a typical week. Use that figure, not guesswork, to decide your order quantity and how often you reorder.

2. Check shelf life and storage

Dry goods, chilled items and frozen products all have different storage needs. Make sure you have the right space before you order, and always check best-before dates on delivery.

3. Start with samples or small packs

When trying a new product, begin with a smaller pack. Test it in your recipes and confirm that taste, texture and yield suit your menu.

4. Consolidate suppliers

Ordering sauces, cheese, frozen snacks, bakery mixes and syrups from one supplier makes ordering simpler and gives you a single point of contact for delivery and support.

5. Ask for the right details

• Pack size and case configuration.
• Wholesale rate for your expected monthly quantity.
• Delivery schedule and minimum order.
• Storage and handling instructions.
