Online restaurant supply distributor with 430,000+ SKUs and multi-state fulfillment
WebstaurantStore operates a large-scale ecommerce distribution business for foodservice professionals, serving 5,001–10,000 employees across multiple U.S. distribution centers. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward .NET + SQL Server + cloud messaging (RabbitMQ, AWS SQS, Azure Service Bus), with a notable shift underway: replacing SQL Server while simultaneously building a unified ingestion framework into Snowflake—signaling a migration toward modern data infrastructure. Hiring is operations-heavy (121 ops roles), but the active project list (data governance, self-service developer tools, database automation) reveals internal tech modernization pressure alongside core fulfillment optimization.
