Today, shifting supply chains, changing tariffs and evolving federal regulations mean there’s less wiggle room than ever to miss savings opportunities. Operators from restaurant groups, hotels, senior living communities, schools, and other hospitality-forward businesses are committed to closely protecting their margins. 

Good news: A GPO (group purchasing organization) supports short-term savings on nearly everything operators buy and need. Better news? A GPO like Entegra offers countless other operational advantages to help you not just survive—but thrive.

The operational impact of a best-in-class GPO 

Working smarter takes time—and most busy operators don’t have it. 

The right GPO can help you: 

• Improve culinary operations: Analyzing menu costs while retaining high-quality food. Implementing time and motion studies for a more efficient kitchen. Training staff on foodservice safety: Entegra Culinary Consulting is up for any culinary challenge that improves operations.
• Make more data-driven decisions: One-stop access to all your purchasing data for buying insights and analysis is a must-have GPO deliverable. Just one example: Entegra clients count on Savings Optimizer, found in our client platform Entegra PurchasingIQ, for easily finding product swap opportunities to drive more savings.
• Client support: Professional partners who understand your business are invaluable. Hear directly from operators on how much Entegra expertise matters and listen in on one restaurateur's first-hand experience with a GPO. 

Say “yes” to procurement savings 

A GPO's primary goal is to help you save more easily, including: 

• Access to an expansive supplier network: With Entegra as your GPO you can continue to strengthen manufacturer and distributor relationships without the hassle of vetting and negotiating—freeing you up to focus on your business.
• Explore local and regional options: Entegra’s Local and Direct Savings Program spans local and specialty foods, FF&E, a wide array of services and direct delivery (no middleman required).
• Save while you shop: Imagine finding the best prices while shopping in real time? Entegra Shopping Assistant, a digital tool that “layers” over select distributors’ e-store, helping you does just that.
