Freestone
Restaurant owners and chefs need time to develop menus, build strong FOH and BOH teams, and pursue exciting marketing opportunities. That can be hard to do when you are constantly dealing with all the headaches of managing daily purchasing and keeping your COGS in line.  

You didn’t get into this business to keep “spinning plates” every day. You did it to serve excellent ones. Freestone helps by managing the burdensome aspects of your restaurant’s day-to-day needs so you can stay focused on the bigger picture.





Purchase
Managemen

With decades of experience in food distribution and management, we have access to a vast network of purveyors, producers, and industry insiders.

 
 
 We understand that F&B market rates and availabilities change daily. Let us do the heavy lifting for you, whether it be placing and tracking daily orders across dozens of vendors, managing inventory, or simply providing your teams with weekly market research.



 
 
Vendor
Negotiations
Let’s face it, one of the most time consuming problems for chefs and GMs is resolving vendor issues and scrambling to fix last minute emergencies:  

“They sent us the wrong linen order again.”
“Is our produce going to arrive in time for prep?”
“Did we ever receive that credit from the fishmonger?”
“Agh! We forgot to order bar limes!”

We pride ourselves in our ability to resolve issues quickly and efficiently, but where we really shine is in anticipating problems before they arise. We meet regularly and proactively with sales reps and customer account managers to ensure smooth operations.

Farm to Table R&D
At Freestone we believe that big industrial food distributors aren’t the only game in town. We get excited about helping our clients foster meaningful, long-term relationships with independent farmers and quality driven small producers.

Whether it’s crop planning with a small-acreage grower, buying into whole animal shares, participating in CSA programs, or just picking your own apples, joining the Freestone family means joining a community of supportive food professionals.

Let’s get you breaking bread without breaking the bank, and put you on the road to developing an affordable, flavorful, and sustainable farm-to-table program.



Pricing

Different clients have different needs. Whatever your needs are, we like to think that working with us is like working on a recipe rather than ordering à la carte. We’re happy to craft a unique plan to work around any budget.  

Drop us a line at freestonenyc@gmail.com or 213.235.6333 to get the conversation started. We can’t wait to help you save time and money in the service of good food and great times.

Cheers,
Santi Vernetti,
founder
