Where Brands in Foodservice Go for Real Growth

Pepper is who suppliers trust to unlock the independent distribution market. As a single point of entry to partner with independents, suppliers work with Pepper for real growth in the digital age.

“We’ve seen a consistent uptick in stocking positions and slots and post-campaign, a 40% increase in weekly orders. Pepper is the ‘X-Factor’ for us in the independent distribution space.”

Quan Ngo, Division Vice President at Aspire Bakeries

Distribution Partners

Manufacturers depend on Pepper to broaden their audience and expand case growth.

One system built to grow everyone at the table

Pepper connects suppliers, distributors, and operators so a win for one is a win for all. Solidify stocking positions with independents, win the attention of distributor sales teams, and convert operators to your brand.

Partner with distributors already selling your products

“We're comitting to bringing new brands and items to align with the Pepper Program.”

John Kohl, Atlas Wholesale

“Partnering with Pepper has been a game-changer for us. Their innovative approach and strategic ad placements have grown sales of those featured products and enhanced our customer experience.”

April B, Brown Foodservice

“My reps are very in tune with Smart Solutions [Pepper Digital Ads] and are excited about selling those products...we said yes to bringing in two new brands we had previously said no to for years.”

Greg Garn, McDonald Wholesale

Built for independent foodservice

The large broadliners have long run scaled, coordinated growth programs. Pepper brings that same level of coordination to the independent channel—one connected system that helps a plan built for one distributor work just as well across hundreds of distributors.

Target Ads to Audiences Most Relevant for a Campaign

Campaigns targeted to your products

Carousel placement on order guides, product-page recommendations, and checkout reminders are all targeted by cuisine, business type, geography, and buying behavior.

Extend your sales force

Distributor reps get the same targeted opportunity list your own team would use—right accounts, items, and incentives—so they pitch your brand like they're part of it.

Unlock direct-to-operator discounts

Turn one-off orders into recurring with incentives that land directly with the operators buying your product.

GS1 & Beyond

GS1 & beyond

Pepper's product content library keeps GS1-compliant images, specs, and brand pages in front of hundreds of distributors automatically.
