Restaurant buying group for multi-unit operators
Restaurantchains.net and Joe Dunbar & Associates is your exclusive entree into the entegra co-op buying group.
We have formed a company called Dynamic Chains along with entegra (backed by Sodexo corp.) in 2008 to bring the buying group to companies who have at least 5 foodservice outlets, but no more than 50. An outlet can include units, catering facitlities, etc.
Until our agreement with entegra, you could not join the entegra co-op unless your company's annual purchases exceed $25,000,000.
From when we began our agreement with entegra, there are now 5,500 locations in the co-op who have more than $3.5 billion in annual purchases.
Our original members now find 50% more items than 2008 including brand new programs for CVP Chicken, Red Bull, Sara Lee desserts and additional eco-friendly items.
The savings are spectacular. There are more than 400 manufacturers and suppliers in the program and 7,000 SKU items. In full confidentiality, we can show you who, how much the savings are and the way the program works.
You can call me directly at 914-591-4297 or keith@foodservicereport.com and I will contact you for further discussion and investigation by your company.

Bars & Grills - the winners!
"Bar & Grill restaurants currently sit atop of the expansion and sales goals of today's existing and growing chains. This is mirrored in relation to independent operators who are opening new stores and performing well in today's environment. Not all concepts, but many family/casual and upscale restaurant operators (chains and multi-units) have either closed or continue to struggle.
As far as industry growth or contraction, we see no discernable difference in 2010 as end consumers continue to eat out. They just spend less and choose differently. Paralleling our statements in 2008 & 2009, new openings of independents as well as nimble, low check average multi-units with smaller footprints have filled the gap where some higher check average and large square footage operations have ceased to exist"
