Vendor Quality Program
We offer an objective, analytical 3rd party resource to certify and monitor vendor quality for your wholesale, retail or restaurant foodservice operations - enabling you to promote consistent product quality throughout the field.
Whether we are providing support for, or as an alternative to, an in-house program, our services are:
| Flexible |
| Services are customized to meet the ever-changing needs of your business. |
| Thorough |
| Testing combines scientific methodologies and visual analysis to give you accurate statistical data on product samples. |
| Accurate |
| Random samples are received directly from your food service distribution center rather than from the vendors. |
| Documented |
| Written reports, per vendor or product, following your program specifications are submitted monthly or quarterly. Digital documentation of inspections can be viewed on a private Web site. |
| Cost-effective |
| Fee schedules are based on the number and frequency of tests conducted. These services can be billed directly to your vendor. |
| Confidential |
| We hold test results in the strictest confidence. |
| Multi-purpose |
| Services can be used to compare and qualify vendors, gauge cooking efficiency, and monitor distribution center operations including stock rotation. |
