Since 2011, Checkers Food Services has been delivering to the top restaurants and hospitality companies in the Western Cape. As part of the largest procurer of food on the continent, the Shoprite group, Checkers Food Services offers a wide range of quality goods at their famous low prices, helping you to simplify and consolidate your supply chain while reducing costs at the same time.

Everything you need from one supplier

Looking for variety? Then look no further! Checkers Food Services’ extensive range of over 8000 products is especially tailored to restaurants. And if products from 600 top suppliers and local farmers sounds amazing, then you’ll be even more amazed to know these include expertly cut Class A South African meat, handcrafted artisan cheese and top liquor brands… to name a few. What’s more, all their suppliers are food-safety accredited, ensuring peace of mind.

This one-stop shop gives customers everything they need, which means less time spent on sourcing products and quotes, checking orders and corresponding with multiple suppliers – and you only have to settle one account at the end of the month.

No stock, no worries

We all know the unpredictable nature of the restaurant industry can put plenty of stress on a chef. Buying enough stock to ensure that you don’t run out while keeping wastage to a minimum is a massive challenge. To make sure that you don’t get stuck without stock, Checkers Food Services has introduced the CFS Business Card, perfect for those stock emergencies! It can be used at any Shoprite, Checkers, Checkers Hyper, LiquorShop and House & Home and entitles the buyer to up to 2.5% off all store purchases with no interest or admin fees.

The card also eliminates the need for petty cash and helps you keep track of purchases with automatic email notifications of all transactions. These transactions get added to your account, which means that at the end of the month, you get one consolidated statement, further simplifying payment.

Improve your cash flow

One of the major benefits that Checkers Food Services offers is that customers only need to pay 30 days after statement. Couple that with their excellent monthly promotions and tailored pricing contracts, and your food costs will stay consistently low. Besides these savings, Checkers Food Services delivers free of charge, using a fleet of temperature-controlled vehicles, which ensures that all fresh products stay fresher for longer. On that point, they also deliver six days a week, so less of your cash needs to be tied up in stock.

Innovative statements and easy payments

Checkers Food Services is constantly striving for innovation in the food industry. The new interactive viewer, Infoslips, is no exception. Clients can open their monthly statement on anything from a laptop to a smartphone and it’s so easy to use! Simply install the programme on your device to access all your transactions, send remittances, query statements and view the latest buyers’ guides. Customers receive monthly purchase history reports that can assist with orders, stocktakes and help identify purchasing habits and trends. What’s more, all drivers are equipped with card machines, which gives you the option to swipe on delivery – a cashless payment service that certainly comes in handy.

With hundreds of Checkers Food Services-partnered businesses already flourishing, isn’t it time your business makes a change for the better?
