Planning Wholesale Supply Across Multiple Sites

Prepare a clear brief for procurement teams and several locations.

Planning Wholesale Supply Across Multiple Sites

Describe the scope of the operation

A multi-site enquiry should explain how many locations are involved and where they are. State whether sites use the same menu or have different requirements. Identify who makes purchasing decisions and who will receive product information. This gives a potential supplier a practical starting point for reviewing the opportunity.

Separate shared and local requirements

List the products needed across the group, then note any differences by site. Estimate volumes using a consistent period such as a typical week. Include planned openings or menu changes as separate items. Clear distinctions help prevent a group-wide estimate being mistaken for a requirement at every location.

Agree how product information is reviewed

Decide which team assesses specifications and documentation, and how the approved information is shared with kitchens. Ask questions about the exact products being considered. Keep contact details up to date so requests reach the correct person. Your internal review process should be clear before you discuss a wider commercial arrangement.

Begin with a structured conversation

Send the business overview, site list, product range and proposed timeline through the business partnerships enquiry form. Explain what you want to achieve and which parts of the project are still being developed. Availability, pricing and supply arrangements can then be discussed on the basis of the actual scope rather than an assumed standard package.
