SERVICES
Thanks to our expertise, we can provide support wherever food is purchased – all the way from the product itself to last-mile distribution to the store.
We tailor our services to your company’s individual needs, always based on the development status of your business.
If you have a new concept, we will assist you during the product development phase with innovative product ideas. We will make sure that these ideas translate into practice – without confronting you with unsolvable operational or financial challenges.
Since we can create real added value, even established companies with existing purchasing departments like to benefit from our expertise:
- Each day we negotiate prices for different customers, so we know the latest market conditions.
- We have access to a very vast network of suppliers.
- We have the advantage that we do not have any daily business and can focus entirely on the project.
- As an external consultant, we carry out structured and professional tendering procedures to select new suppliers for you and reach the best results in negotiations with existing suppliers.
PARTNER
We serve a wide range of clients: start-ups looking to launch a new concept, hotels in the Maldives, and well-established restaurant chains such as dean&david and Vapiano. Each of our clients appreciates our flexible compensation options. We like to be judged by actual results and thus are ready to take the risk.
AN EXCERPT OF OUR PARTNERS:
“FOODSOURCE analyzed our existing logistics structure and, upon this information, showed us how we could reorganize our structure to make it fit for the future and how we could achieve significant savings. Now they are going to support us in the implementation of this project. We have the utmost confidence in the team and would recommend them anytime.”
“I worked with Sebastian and his team several times before, and I have also recommended him to others many times with both great success and excellent feedback. At Vapiano, he has always supported us not only in purchasing but especially in supply chain optimization. After we bought Vapiano in the new constellation the first thing I wanted to do was to have him back on board. Sebastian is 100% professional, motivated, thinks & acts like an entrepreneur 24/7. He is always available and has a solution-oriented approach. I can strongly recommend him”
“Sebastian and Miriam play a key role at Vapiano, ensuring the smooth running of our international supply chain operations. Their joint wealth of experience, having worked directly with Vapiano for years previously, before founding Foodsource in 2019, means they are a strong pillar in establishing our future strategy, bringing their incredible knowledge, combined with a truly innovative approach.”
