Preferred Purchasing Consortium, founded in 1984, is a purchasing group for independent food service operators.

The purpose of our group is to negotiate for the independent food service operator the same type of price, service and quality for products and services that the large national chains are receiving.

This has been successfully accomplished for the past twenty years by dealing with distributors, suppliers and manufacturers from a position of strength ... which is our large number of members. This is the exact same principle that is used by the large national chains.

Our purchasing group is made up of over 21,000 independent food service operators, such as: All types of restaurants, private and public country clubs, hotel, caterers, food service management companies, and any one else who runs a food service establishment.

The type of programs that you can use to help in your purchasing:

Rebate Program:

Over 7,500 food items that you are most likely already purchasing that we can get you rebate checks for. You just tell us which grocery distributor you are purchasing from and we get the information from them and we do everything else.

Purchasing Program:

These national suppliers are contractually obligated to provide all members with the same negotiated price. Usually on a cost plus basis or national chain account pricing.

How We Implement the Program:

Every week we notify all of our distributors, manufacturers, suppliers, etc. and let them know who our new members are. They in turn honor our program for our members.

Cost of the program:

There is no charge or fee for services that PPC provides to any food service establishment.

How PPC makes its money:

We mail 75% of the Rebate to our members and retain 25% as payment for administering the rebate program.
