Making Restaurants More Sustainable: Part 3

How a GPO Can Help

Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) play a pivotal role in helping restaurants achieve sustainability without incurring excessive costs. Here’s how:

Bulk Purchasing Power:

GPOs leverage the collective buying power of multiple restaurants to negotiate better prices for sustainable products, from energy-efficient appliances to eco-friendly packaging.

Access to Sustainable Suppliers:

GPOs often have a network of vetted suppliers who specialize in sustainable goods, ensuring that restaurants have access to high-quality, environmentally friendly options.

Cost Savings:

By pooling resources, GPO members can enjoy significant discounts, making sustainable choices more affordable.

Educational Resources and Support:

Many GPOs provide training, resources, and support to help restaurants implement and maintain sustainable practices effectively.

Simplified Procurement Process:

GPOs streamline the procurement process, saving restaurants time and effort in sourcing and negotiating with suppliers.
