Food Purchasing
Premier-negotiated national food agreements activated for multi-unit operators by PPP Corps — priced against $60B+ in committed member volume, governed for compliance, and tuned to your menu.
Why operators activate this program.
Center-of-plate, produce, dairy, dry grocery and beverage priced under Premier's national manufacturer agreements — activated for your operation by PPP Corps, fulfilled through US Foods, and without forcing you to compromise on menu standards, brand specs or local sourcing relationships.
Where food purchasing quietly costs you margin.
The pressures we see across the operators we work with — and the ones our programs are engineered to address.
Center-of-plate volatility
Protein and dairy swings hit your P&L before menus can react. Hedging and contracted pricing are out of reach for most operators.
Maverick spend
Unit-level managers buy off-program for convenience — eroding negotiated value before it ever hits the floor.
Menu drift
Substitutions and ad-hoc spec changes inflate plate cost without anyone owning the math.
Distribution friction
Broadliner agreements that aren't actively managed quietly drift on price files, fees and contract terms.
What we activate, govern and report on.
Premier negotiates the underlying manufacturer agreements. Each category sits under a dedicated PPP Corps program team that activates those agreements at your operation — suppliers, compliance and analytics in one motion.
Center-of-plate proteins
Beef, poultry, pork and seafood agreements with national producers and processors.
Produce & dairy
Regional and national programs with quality, seasonality and shrink built into the math.
Dry grocery & pantry
Branded agreements across staples, baking and dry goods, with alternate-supplier flexibility where it benefits the operation.
Beverage
Beverage pouring rights, coffee programs, juices and bottled water.
National suppliers behind the program.
A representative selection. PPP Corps maintains active agreements with hundreds of national manufacturers, distributors and service providers across categories.
Vendor names referenced for category context. Specific agreements and pricing vary by member program.
