What Our Partnership with US Foods Means for Restaurants and Retailers Across America

If you run a restaurant, café, catering service, grocery store, or specialty retail outlet in the U.S., you already know one truth: supply chain reliability can make or break your business. Consistent quality, predictable pricing, and dependable deliveries are everything.

That’s exactly why our new partnership with US Foods, one of America’s largest foodservice distributors, is such a big milestone. For Indian-American businesses — and increasingly for mainstream American kitchens embracing global flavors — this partnership unlocks easier access to high-quality products, faster deliveries, and nationwide distribution.

For many of us who grew up in India and now operate businesses in the U.S., this feels like progress: our products, our flavors, our heritage — finally delivered with the same support and efficiency that big national brands receive.

Let’s break down what this partnership truly means for you, your customers, and the future of global food in America.

Who Is US Foods & Why It Matters

US Foods is one of the most trusted foodservice distributors in the country, serving:

• 300,000+ restaurants

• 70,000+ retail outlets

• 70+ distribution centers nationwide

• Independent restaurants, national chains, healthcare facilities, schools & more

Their reputation is built on reliability — and reliability is exactly what restaurants and retailers need when sourcing products like Desi ghee, canned fruits, simmer sauces, pantry staples, and global ingredients.

With this partnership, our products are now backed by:

• Faster delivery times

• Consistent restocking

• Better shipping rates

• Nationwide availability

• Stronger cold-chain and storage infrastructure

What This Means for Restaurants Across America

1. Easier Ordering & Nationwide Availability

Whether you’re operating a single-location Indian restaurant in New Jersey or a fast-growing chain of fusion cafés in Texas, you can now order our products directly through US Foods’ ordering portal — as easily as you order oil, spices, or produce.

No more waiting for specialty importers.
No more inconsistent supply.
No more last-minute recipe changes because a key ingredient didn’t arrive.

Our products are now part of the same ecosystem trusted by America’s largest kitchens.

2. High-Quality, Consistent Ingredients

Restaurants need ingredients that taste the same every single time — that’s how you maintain consistency in your dishes.

Through US Foods’ quality assurance standards and strict handling processes, our products now benefit from:

• Temperature-controlled storage

• Strict inspections

• Reduced product damage

• Freshness retention

This means:
Your butter chicken will taste the same every day.
Your desserts will stay consistent.
Your customers will trust your food more.

3. More Stability in Pricing

Import-based products often see fluctuating prices due to shipping delays, port congestion, and international freight spikes.

By partnering with US Foods, we now secure:

• Better freight efficiency

• Lower transportation costs

• Predictable pricing for restaurants

• Bulk purchasing benefits

Stable ingredient costs = stable menu pricing = happier customers.

What This Means for Retail Stores

1. Faster Replenishment

For South Asian, Middle Eastern, and multicultural grocery stores, out-of-stock products mean missed revenue.

Now, with US Foods as our distribution backbone, retailers can restock shelves faster — often in 48–72 hours, depending on region.

2. More Variety for Your Customers

Because US Foods offers larger storage capacity and distribution channels, we can scale more SKUs, including:

• Ghee

• Canned pineapple, mango, lychee

• Chickpeas, legumes, ready-to-eat bases

• Shelf-stable pantry items

• Simmer sauces & global condiments

This means stores can finally offer more options and consistent supply — without relying on smaller importers.

3. Stronger Brand Visibility

Retailers can now showcase global products with the confidence that stock will be replenished regularly. That consistency builds trust among shoppers — especially Indian-American families looking for authentic, reliable brands.
