“First – we help you buy better”

The first system step is to help you buy better.

All My Local Foodie clients receive the No. 1 Cost Comparison report in Australia which details:

	every single product your business buys from the categories listed below.
	how much of each product is purchased each month.
	the exact saving your business will receive by buying your products with My Local Foodie preferred suppliers.

Product Categories Analysed	Please note: Not all product categories are available Australia Wide.
Food Service Meat / Poultry / Smallgoods Seafood Milk Fruit & Vegetables Bakery Coffee Packaging Products Cleaning Products Catering & Kitchen Equipment

The Cost Comparison analysis and report usually take 2 weeks to complete, depending on the size of your business and the complexity of your menu.

Once the Cost Comparison process is complete a meeting with the business owner/manager and head chef is scheduled to ‘double check’ all products and recommend possible product alternatives which may offer quality and/or price advantages.

You will now be ready to process credit applications with the many great preferred suppliers and then begin ordering as a My Local Foodie Client.

“Second – We help you Buy Smarter”

The second step involves purchasing systems and organizational process improvements. The key areas include:

1. What are the purchasing goals of the business?
2. How does the head/sous chef place orders?
3. When are orders placed?
4. How often are orders required?
5. What time is preferred for deliveries?

At My Local Foodie – we understand that administration can often cause problems for food businesses and their suppliers. That’s why we have developed a purchasing system that is easy to work with for chefs, suppliers and the office admin team.

Your business will receive:

	Custom pantry sheets for accurate ordering by fax (includes supplier product codes, descriptions, order dates).
	Option to order on line with COSTIMATOR program (extra cost involved).
	Set delivery days for your business to help stock planning (the no. of deliveries per week will depend on the size of the business and size of storage).
	Set delivery times to help kitchen staff.
	Reduced paperwork for your admin team through streamlined ordering process.

“Third – We help organise and cost your menu like never before”

My local Foodie will help you gain control of your recipe and menu costing with Australia’s best costing software – the COSTIMATOR program.

The COSTIMATOR is an on-line tool which:

	Provides a complete pantry list of all products required by your kitchen, with costs listed for each product
