A group of 13 businesses that caters to the restaurant industry has joined forces to provide products and services to new dining establishments as they open.
Restaurant Savvy Consultants includes an architect, accounting firm, construction firm, equipment repair, lighting company and food and liquor distributors. A marketing expert and social media company also are on board.
"We want to be able to walk into a brand-new restaurant and say here are 13 vendors you should work with," says Trisha Lindeman, the marketing consultant who formed the group. "Restaurants are generally too busy to shop for multiple quotes. We want to make it easy for a restaurant to do business with our group."
Restaurant Savvy meets regularly to discuss the various stages of the restaurants in its database.
The group includes representatives from American Express, Jordy Construction, Illumination Systems Lighting, Direct Digital Solutions, Republic National Distributing Co., Heartland Payment Systems, Shamrock Foods, Aloha POS, Gabby Gourmet, On Call Restaurant Accounting, Advantage Service and OpenTable.
"We have the best of the best in each category, and we make it easy for people to open their doors," Lindeman says. "We want to be a one-stop shop. You could call it a power alliance."
