Specialty food distributor serving restaurants and hotels across North America
The Chefs' Warehouse distributes over 88,000 premium food products to restaurants, hotels, and specialty retailers. The hiring mix—dominated by logistics, ops, and sales roles—reflects a distribution-heavy operation focused on inventory accuracy and warehouse efficiency. Active projects around route optimization, demand planning (Relex), and perpetual inventory signal operational maturity work, while pain points cluster around compliance (USDA/FDA), damage reduction, and cost control rather than platform expansion.
