What We Do at Carolina Food Service
At Carolina Food Service, we deal majorly in the distribution of food items. This involves the movement of food from farms, production centers, and large-scale manufacturers to retailers and consumers. Businesses like shopping malls, restaurants, and other food service providers depend on food distributors like us to purchase food items and ingredients needed to keep their business running smoothly.
We lower the burden on food manufacturers and restaurants. For example, restaurant owners do not have the time to buy products from tens or hundreds of food manufacturers, depending on their needed ingredients. This is where we come in. At Carolina Food Service, we buy a wide range of food items and ensure they are delivered to your restaurant in the best conditions.
Also, some manufacturers may face issues with logistics. But we bridge the gap by forming relationships with all production outlets and bringing together all of their products so they can be readily sold in bulk.
At Carolina Food Service, we aim to enable our clients to thrive in business and maintain their competitive advantage. In addition, we bring better value to restaurants by working together to find unique solutions to their needs.
How Carolina Food Service Can Increase the Efficiency of Your Restaurant
We all know that the primary function of a distribution company is to get food items and ingredients to locations where they are needed. The truth is anyone can do this. However, at Carolina Food Service, we ensure that we provide top-quality services that make your restaurant’s operation more efficient.
The list below highlights some of the qualities and services that make us the best.
Convenience
This is perhaps the best benefit our clients enjoy. At Carolina Food Service, we offer convenience to your restaurant. You may be wondering how.
Firstly, we recognize that most restaurants may not have the finance, time, or manpower for the logistics of the food items they require to ensure the smooth running of their business. That is why we take it upon ourselves to buy and transport whatever food ingredient you may need from wherever they are to your doorstep. This is a win situation even for the food producers as it helps to reduce the burden of logistics.
Secondly, all food services use more than one type of food product. Having to order from individual producers is a hectic endeavor. At Carolina Food Service, we deal in a wide variety of food items and ingredients. This means you don’t have to stress your staff with purchasing food items. Therefore, they can function with 100% efficiency and focus on cooking and delivering the best meals.
On-Time Delivery
In any business, punctuality is vital. However, in the food business, timeliness is critical and determines many things. For example, punctual deliveries of food products and ingredients according to your restaurant’s weekly or monthly needs make food available to customers in fresh conditions. Conversely, late deliveries could lead to food being damaged, decayed, or expired.
At Carolina Food Service, we recognize the need for on-time deliveries of your food products and work tirelessly to ensure that they get to you promptly. We also work with your schedule whether you want after-hours or live delivery.
Bilingual Staff
At Carolina Food Service, we cater to the needs of all restaurants. However, as mentioned, we are specially dedicated to the Hispanic and Latino restaurants around the Carolinas. We are aware of how language can be a barrier when trying to communicate with food distributors. That is why we employ bi-lingual staff.
The ability of our bilingual staff to communicate with those working in Hispanic and Latino restaurants makes the process of ordering & delivery easy for everyone and, in turn, helps restaurant operations run smoothly.
Online Orders
Technology has improved every known industry, and the food distribution sector is not left behind. At Carolina Food Service, we offer online orders.
This way, restaurant owners and managers don’t have to come physically to our branch to communicate their orders. The ordering process is seamless and can be done directly on our website.
Reasonable Pricing
We strive to provide our customers with the lowest prices for high-quality food items. At Carolina Food Service, we offer the best possible rates, with additional rebates, discounts, and commissions, helping your restaurant business build on profit margins.
Quality Food Items
An essential function of a food distribution service is to control and maintain the quality of all food products and ingredients they provide. Quality is the core of the food service industry. In addition, keeping high-quality food items is essential to winning customers’ loyalty.
At Carolina Food Service, we ensure all food products and ingredients retain their freshness and quality with adequate management, quality-controlled warehousing, and well-managed distribution procedure. We also maintain all food safety guidelines provided by the government.
