SYSCO's supplier relationships extend to 32 countries and include more
than 400 imported products - from condiments and chocolates to seafood
and patés. These global sourcing capabilities improve the availability
of many products, especially fresh menu items. Produce specialists work
directly with growers around the world to procure an abundance of fruits
and vegetables to offset domestic seasonal variations. Winter fruits from
Chile and frozen broccoli from Mexico are among the products that help
stabilize prices and allow consumers to enjoy full menu selections year-round.
Appealing to consumers' interest in daily menu variety and convenience,
SYSCO's Brandables program offers chefs six different, easy-to-prepare
product categories that can be served from freestanding kiosks or standard
serving lines. The Arrezzio™ Italian Cafe, Casa Solana™ Mexican Cantina,
Mein Street Wok™, Cool N' ClassyTM Frozen
Yogurt, The Potato Gourmet™ and Block & Barrel™ Deli kiosks include
colorful, contemporary signage and are highly successful in university
and business cafeterias as well as other casual dining venues.
