SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FohBoh, the fastest growing online social-business network for the
global restaurant industry, is pleased to announce its partnership with
Food Buyers Network (FBN), a group purchasing organization. FohBoh GPO™,
available now, allows members to receive substantial savings on food,
chemical and paper supplies.
Participating members will be able to purchase supplies through their
current distributors, at the same time receiving significant savings due
to negotiated discounts. These deals leverage the total purchasing
volume of FBN, allowing the company to obtain lower contracted prices
and manufacturer rebates for members.
FohBoh GPO, powered by Food Buyers Network, is designed to interactively
engage members and inform them of savings. Members can track combined
savings, pending rebate checks and deals cross-referenced with each
restaurant’s unique purchasing history. FBN
will continuously negotiate with manufacturers to further enhance
savings opportunities for members.
“We’re thrilled to
partner with Food Buyers Network,” said Ted
Cohn, President and CTO of FohBoh. “This is
the first of many opportunities to bring value to our members and
revenue to the company, especially during this economically turbulent
period.”
Stuart Amoriell, FBN Managing Director and President, shares his
excitement regarding the new partnership. “The
great part is that FohBoh GPO, powered by FBN, does all the work for you,”
Amoriell said. “Sign-up is fast, easy and
free. Administrators are available to provide personal assistance every
step of the way.”
FohBoh and FBN will be exhibiting at the National Restaurant Association
show in Chicago, May 17-20 at booth 5769. To learn more visit http://fohboh.com/gpo.
