How Buyers Edge Gets Bars and Restaurants Cash Back on Everyday Purchases with Quarterly Checks
Sales keep climbing, but your costs still feel sticky and slow.
You’re not overpaying on purpose. You’re just not getting the manufacturer money tied to what you already buy.
The real issue? Your invoices aren’t connected to the rebate network that sends quarterly checks.
In this episode, I’m with Kyle Bechthold from Dining Alliance to show how to hook up your distributors in minutes, what to expect on timing, and where the easy non-food wins live.
It’s not about switching vendors or buying more. It’s about getting paid for the same purchases you’re already making.
What You’ll Learn
🌟 How manufacturer rebates work for independent bars and restaurants without a subscription
🌟 The 5–10 minute setup to connect Sysco, US Foods, GFS, PFG, and local distributors
🌟 Why the first rebate check can take months and why checks arrive quarterly after that
🌟 Where the quick wins are beyond food costs like DirecTV, Airgas CO₂, and linens
🌟 How the Buyers Edge portal flags swap-worthy SKUs for item-level cash back
🌟 What to expect if you add optional back-office tools for recipe costing and weekly P&L
🌟 The simple call flow after you sign up and why Kyle is the person who helps you connect accounts
