Restaurants are commercial establishments that follow numerous marketing strategies in order to increase profits. Starting from food, cooking equipment, catering supplies, furniture and sanitation aids, a restaurant needs a large amount of supplies everyday. Equipment such as refrigerators, cooking equipment, food processors, dishwashers and furniture are long-term investments and are not purchased in bulk by restaurants.

Wholesale restaurant supplies refer to large quantities of supplies sold to retailers for resale to actual consumers. Generally, wholesalers buy from manufacturers and then sell to retailers. There are many companies that specialize in buying wholesale restaurant supplies from manufacturers and resell these supplies to restaurants at retail prices. Retailers and consumers with a need for a large quotient of supplies may also purchase directly from manufacturers at wholesale prices. The supply needs of a restaurant are enormous and the costs involved in purchasing restaurant supplies are huge. Profitability is unthinkable unless these costs are optimized. Every dollar paid in excess strains resources that become problematic when managing operating costs. Most restaurants purchase restaurant supplies in the wholesale market, as they are at discounted prices when compared to market prices. Restaurants require a large amount of supplies on a daily basis. As a result, the industry thrives on wholesale purchases, which ensures favorable returns on investments.
