The client, a geographically remote and seasonal property, faced challenges in meeting corporate compliance standards. While other properties in their portfolio were achieving a purchasing compliance rate that was twice as high as this location. Given the unique operating conditions and challenges due to their remote location, the goal was to increase compliance by 20% while continuing to maintain high-quality standards. This remote location made it difficult to access products, impacting their ability to achieve compliance targets. Being a seasonal business, the pressure was on Foodbuy to improve performance quickly and effectively before the season began.
To tackle the challenge, Foodbuy Canada assembled a team of experts across multiple departments, including category managers, culinary experts, and Foodbuy’s Centre of Excellence financial analysts. The team’s approach focused on optimizing purchasing practices while ensuring that product recommendations would align with both operational requirements and corporate standards.
A detailed plan was developed to increase compliance rates through the following steps:
• Collaborative Approach: To understand the unique challenges of the client’s location, such as remote access and logistical constraints, the Foodbuy team worked closely with the client’s culinary team. This collaboration ensured that proposed solutions met the required quality standards and logistical needs.
• Opportunity Identification: The team identified a list of 100 potential opportunities for improvement in purchasing compliance, narrowing it down to 60 key recommendations. Each opportunity was evaluated for its potential impact on the client’s operations, focusing on quality, logistical feasibility, and costeffectiveness.
• Product Testing and Evaluation: The team focused on 60 high-potential products that met the requirements of both the client and corporate standards. These products underwent rigorous testing, during which the culinary team assessed them based on texture, appearance, colour, and other critical factors. The product
evaluation process was conducted blindly, with manufacturers kept anonymous to ensure objective feedback.
• Final Recommendations: After a thorough evaluation process, the client verbally approved 24 items. Foodbuy conducted a financial assessment of the approved product list, which formed the basis of the final procurement strategy.
• Ongoing Monitoring: To ensure long term success, biweekly procurement calls were implemented to track the execution of the newly implemented product selections throughout the season.
The collaboration between Foodbuy Canada and the client led to significant improvements in purchasing compliance and cost savings:


Purchasing program compliance rates up 20% Cost savings $200,000
• Purchasing Program Compliance Improvement: Compliance rates improved by the targeted 20%, demonstrating a significant improvement in a short period of time.
• Cost Savings: The optimized procurement strategy enabled the client to achieve approximately $200K in savings over the course of the season, creating more room in their budget.
• Tailored Solutions: Foodbuy worked with key suppliers to implement specific purchasing programs and onboarded new suppliers to support the client’s menu requirements and market needs.
This highly coordinated project demonstrated Foodbuy’s ability to provide tailored, actionable solutions that met the unique needs of a member despite a remote location and seasonal business cycles. The client benefited from Foodbuy’s hands-on approach, as close collaboration resulted in products and processes that aligned with their operational goals and corporate expectations.

Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) have evolved from simple cost-saving entities into indispensable partners for operators in the hospitality industry. Initially created to leverage collective buying power for improved purchasing contracts, GPOs such as Foodbuy, now streamline operators’ purchasing processes, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.
In the 1970s, GPOs primarily served the healthcare sector, helping hospitals save on procurement costs by pooling purchasing power. This model enabled smaller buyers to access bulk discounts traditionally reserved for larger organizations. Over time, the success of GPOs led to their adoption in other industries, including hospitality.
As costs for linens, food supplies, cleaning products, and technology rose, hospitality operators turned to GPOs for relief. Group Purchasing Organizations emerged that cater specifically to the needs of the hospitality industry, offering a comprehensive range of food and beverage purchasing programs. The GPO industry is evolving once again to further extend purchasing contracts beyond food and beverage into operational technology, furniture, specialized supplies and equipment, and professional service providers (such as restaurant consulting services, insurance, elevator maintenance etc). Foodbuy is the industry leader offering contracts on essential resources for nearly every aspect of a hospitality operator’s business.
GPOs provide significant cost savings by negotiating favourable terms with suppliers. Hospitality operators can reduce expenses on food, beverages, cleaning supplies, linens, equipment and guest amenities without sacrificing quality, brand name partnerships or convenience. In a competitive marketplace, these savings help maintain healthy profit margins.
By streamlining procurement, GPOs save operators the time spent researching and sourcing suppliers, negotiating contracts and ensuring
accurate invoicing and rebates. Sophisticated digital tools track every purchase an operator makes, reducing in-house administrative tasks, providing purchasing transparency and allowing operators to prioritize operational excellence and guest satisfaction.
GPOs connect operators with a diverse range of suppliers, to meet the diverse needs of their business. Exclusive deals enhance the value of a GPO membership. Careful consideration should go into your selected GPO partner to ensure they offer the breadth and depth of supplier partners that you’re looking for.
Modern GPOs provide data analytics to provide transparency into your operation’s specific purchasing as well as insight into spending trends. These insights help you to improve profitability and operational standards. Some GPOs, such as Foodbuy, offer consultation and culinary services to further optimize your procurement program.
GPOs leverage established supplier relationships to secure favourable contract terms, including cost-savings and priority service. During peak seasons, when volumes are low, or when there are disruptions in the supply chain, these relationships ensure availability and consistent quality, supporting seamless operations.
As North America’s leading GPO, Foodbuy exemplifies the benefits of GPO partnerships in the hospitality sector. With expertise in procurement, Foodbuy helps operators save time and costs, and gain purchasing transparency by leveraging Foodbuy’s extensive vendor contracts, supplier relationships and digital tools.
