Vendor Partners

The restaurant industry is driven by change. How we do business in this industry depends on the demands of our guests and customers. With the rapid change in technology and customer preferences, how restaurant owners choose vendor partnerships is the roadmap to an independent restaurant owner or restaurateurs' success or failure.

At Restaurant Consulting 101, we only want the best companies and operators to partner with our Executive Members.  We believe that in order for this partnership to work there has to be these commitments with our potential and future Vendor Partners:

  • Executive Commitment: Make the strategic decision to partner at the highest executive level, and secure buy-in from all levels of employees, especially the folks who interact directly with our RC 101 Executive Members.
  • Aligned Business Strategy: Determining if a potential partnership is the right match. We will want you to share your business strategy, your core competencies and check to see if your goals, technology, and targets are a right fit for our RC 101 Executive Members.
  • Go-to-market Support: How you, as a potential vendor for our Executive members, goes to market with them is just as important as the products and services you sell. The most profitable vendor relationships will drive top-line sales in existing and new market segments, provide technical and product use training, offer sales incentives and pricing discounts and generate demand through marketing events to ensure our members get the service that they deserve.
  • Provide the Highest Quality Product and Services in Their Segment: There is a certain standard of excellence that our members expect and RC101 intends to provide vendor partnerships that are commited to this as well. An independent restaurant owner or restaurateur's reputation is inherently tied to it's vendor products and services. This lays the groundwork for what a restaurant guest will expect in the future from the restaurant establishment.
